Just after the Virginia Tech shootings, I found a blog posting by a
physician who claimed a link between violent behavior and roleplaying
games, D&D specifically. I mentioned this on the newsgroup.

Original blog post:

A couple regulars on this group wrote polite messages addressing the
blog entry, which eventually drew this response:

I checked his CV, the guy is a pediatrician that deals with allergies,
nutrition, infectious disease and "holistic healing"

I would suggest that Dr. Tauraso has approximately zero qualifications
in psychiatry and certainly seems to have launched himself into some
weird medicine with "Awakening the genius in your child programs"

Not critical of your links, but I thought it was worth adding these
points

No worries. Your educated suggestions are in line with the conclusions
to which I'd already jumped. :)
