That's the reason I stopped, John. I wouldn't be surprised to hear
that Mike has killed himself. I hope he doesn't. He truly needs
professional help.

OK, I'm not such an insensitive lout that I can't appreciate
impending suicide. So here's my thoughts on how to deal with
His Loony Mikeness. To every Loony Mikeness post some designated
roffian will append a disclaimer, something along the lines of:

Disclaimer:
"This guy is crazy, pay no attention to his posts, but please
don't ever post any questioning or disagreement because we think
this guy is so bonkers he just might off himself."

What do you think ?

This is what I've been thinking JR. It's not one sick person here, it's
a whole bundle.....

Give me a ****in' break. Those who want to paint His Loony Mikeness
as a victim are as crazy as he is......

My question was only addressed to those who have said they think
Mike is actually, truly mentally ill and should seek help.

His Loony Mikeness should definitely seek the help of a mental
health professional but as to whether he's actually certifiable
according to DSM-IV, who knows. And who cares ? Calling the
loony ******* crazy drives him crazy and that's good enough for
my purposes. ;-)

It's really not all that difficult to understand, immho.

Op --rewording slightly what Lazarus said " It's not one sick person
here..." but several sick people poking sticks at one another.--

It isn't at all difficult to understand.......unless one supposes (sans
anything resembling supporting evidence) that those doing the taunting are
fundamentally decent human beings. None of this would be the least bit
interesting except that, quite the contrary, it takes willful blindness to
the daily demonstrated fact that we have among us a hardcore cadre of
INdecent human beings whom the majority here persist in calling "friends,"
making this place much like any other place in the world.

Others will, of course, subscribe to alternate theories.

who patiently awaits one worth considering.

Quite true. Seems a few people have gained the insight. It was about time.

Whatever the case may be, it is obviously quite pointless continuing to
try and shame Fortenberry or anybody else here in to anything even
approaching normal decent behaviour. They obviously don´t care what
others think of them. Even the usual veneer of civilisation seemns to
have been rubbed off here. In the meantime it has reached the point
where it merely makes me feel extremely disgusted with myself. There is
little point in fighting hopeless causes, after a while it becomes
difficult to see any difference between what one is trying to combat,
and oneself, and it wont make any difference really, because the people
concerned will always be nasty vile lying subjects, it seems to be part
of their nature.

Having read a few of the latest posts, Isa also says that these people
are not only very nasty, but obviously very stupid as well. She too is
quite right.

Presumably the greatest "punishment" for these people is that they seem
compelled to endure each other and their public displays of ignorance,
stupidity, and nastiness, all in public, and knowing exactly what they are.

Can´t say it was nice knowing any of you, and in any case I have better
things to do.

One can only hope you get the lives you deserve, or wish on others.
