John:
As a Bipolar I know well that mental illness has a cruel and twisted side but this is not the place for it. This is a place for people to heal.
We've already lost one very insightful and helpful person for at least awhile because of this poster. It's extremely difficult for people with mental illness to find a place where they feel safe to post, to find support. It's ludicrous to offer this GG person, or any such person, any feedback, in my opinion. They must seek help elsewhere. They're absolutely being abusive.
I don't often argue on this board because I believe it to be a place of support, a place of debate, not abuse. But the tone has changed since these two posters came. If I am incorrect in my assumptions, I have apologized already.
I don't think you were here when a poster called "ItsJustMe" incited folks very similarly. If everyone would just ignore the posts, the people might go away, but it's difficult. I've fallen into the discussions as well.
I'm sounding off here, because this is the more appropriate place to do it. I would hate to see others, including myself, have to leave because the entire tone of the board was changed due to one or two people. And I'm angry because I do think there's something odd going on here (I could offer some analytical "proof" I suppose but then that seems like I'm really getting confrontational), and this place is supposed to be a safe haven.
