Hi There

Hi, Anarchist42. I note your comments on JDW(?)'s talk page and take them very seriously. Thanks for the awfully good advice. May I ask where in Canada you are? I'm in Vancouver. Francesca Allan of MindFreedomBC 03:29, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

It's good to hear from you (I have noticed your contributions in the past). I have a habit of trying to get bitter opponents to reach some sort of understanding (I guess I'm a diplomatic optimistic), however I have yet to see any effort by the psychiatric profession to even pretend to listen to the mentally ill, hence I view it as a challenge! I'm a resident of sunny Victoria, BC. -- Anarchist42 17:34, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I just moved from Victoria! I am in awe of your diplomatic optimism and wish you well bringing psychiatrists and mental patients to some kind of understanding. I'm sure you've heard this quip about psychiatry: it's the only business where the customer is always wrong. Keep up the good work! Francesca Allan of MindFreedomBC 20:16, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Diplomacy is the only option, since we can't sue them (I know, cause I tried). I tried sending (very polite) E-mails to many official websites, and none bothered to reply. -- Anarchist42 22:05, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

I actually only discovered your comments interspersed in the discussion much later. Neither me nor Francesca responded to them specifically, so I hope you don't mind that I removed them. Please feel free to summarise your points I you'd like me to address them, but I think we've covered the stuff pretty well in our seperate discussion on bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder

Hey, I just got your message. Bipolar disorder belongs in the more appropriate category "Mood disorders." The category "Mental illness diagnosis by DSM and ISCDRHP" is not the place for a specific mood disorder when there is a sub category. --CDN99 18:00, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough (and thanks for the explanation). -- Anarchist42 22:05, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
