Gargoyle: "The mudcat-forum should NOT be considered a valid responce area for "sick" psychological indivduals."

Leaving aside the issue that Janie was most likely experiencing emotional distress well within the range of normality and it would be a stretch to define her experience as psychologically sick. Why should this forum (I assume you mean the main forum and you think it should be in BS?) not be used by people with psychological illnesses? In fact other people have posted about their experiences of eg depression and how it has impacted on their musical lives. Why should this be any different from someone posting about a physical health problem like for example arthritis, and how that impacts on their participation in the musical world?
