Guidelines

Comments Policy

The IDS Institute welcomes discussion. Comments are moderated, and by posting you agree to the following.

This is a space to discuss the ideas in these posts: the framework, the patterns, the history, and the public record. It is not a space to diagnose or label specific people.

Do not post comments that:

  • Name or identify a specific living person as having IDS, IDS-N, IDS-P, or any mental disorder or illness.
  • Accuse a named individual of a crime or of specific misconduct without a cited, reputable source.
  • Target private individuals in any way. Discussion of public conduct should address public figures acting in public, and should rest on their own documented words and actions.
  • Contain threats, harassment, incitement, slurs, or calls for violence against any person or group.
  • Post another person's private information such as a home address, phone number, or private contact details.
  • Are spam, advertising, or off-topic.

Comments that discuss behaviors, quotes, and documented public statements are welcome. Comments that assign a psychiatric label to a named person are not, and will be removed.

We may edit, remove, or hide any comment, and may block any user, at our discretion. Comments reflect the views of the people who write them, not the views of the IDS Institute or the author.

To report a comment, use the Report link on the comment, or contact us, and we will review it promptly.
