And to those keeping this going.... if you really believe, as you
say, that Mike may be ill, why are you goading him?


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

Or to repeat what you suggested, if you think the guy is sick, do you
really believe that the right thing to do is to keep poking him with
sticks?

It is deeply unpleasant, and the thuggish cruelty is, sadly, not
untypical of this NG.

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

The "right thing" to do is convince the loony ******* that he has
neither the temperament nor the social skills to participate in
online forums.

I'm doing my level best towards that end, it's you whiny apologists
who are the real cruel thugs.

(And besides, once the crazy ******* actually did "show his ass" my
job here is pretty much done. ;-)

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

Those who think he's just "loony" or "crazy" or a "nutjob" in the
everyday colloquial sense, carry on, by all means. I don't
understand, though, how someone can taunt and goad and mock a
person they honestly think is ill.

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.

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.--

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 ?

I think that not answering him is a better idea. You're still poking
him with the above "disclaimer". We all know he needs help, Ken.
Further abuse is uncalled for. jmho
