I find find material upsetting too RM. I don't like being tarred by the same brush as those borderlines that abuse people, or use suicide and SI as a tool of manipulation either. That's something I've never done, it's just not my personal 'borderline style'. It's likely people only behave that way because they've been abused in some way themselves anyway, so I find her lack of compassion disturbing.
The thing that upsets me most is not just that she holds these opinions, but that she chose to publish them in the public domain under the heading 'Dr. Sanity', and let everyone know she was a practicing psychiatrist. I think it showed poor judgment at best, so I guess we shouldn't take her too seriously, but still.
