Oh ! I think I get you. I had the impression that you were sympathetic
to
antipsychiatry, especially given the related posts on your blog. I'm
still
not very sure but ... I've never been charged for anything criminal or
against
the law, you're making quite a broad generalization here.
When talking about mental illness and the aforementioned soothing I get
from
obsd and suckless, I was alluding to the relative cognitive overload
undeliberately enforced by other projects which seems mostly absent from
these
two – as hinted at in the title of my page UNIX.html _AT_saboua.xyz

That's right. A lot of diagnoses are abusive, esp. when considering the
prevalent
traumatic liminal state that pervades among our relatives within
society. But as
for me I attribute this to Big Pharma's lucrative motive, not legal
summons which
I've seen cases of while at the ward.

Precisely. Legal is not necessarily moral.
