But it's an excellent example of what the OP was asking...Regardless of the cause, Anarchist is severely mentally disabled...all you have to do is read his posts to prove it.

I am glad this I made this thread. There are people with mental disabilities. This is a nice website that promotes mental awareness.
 
How would you guys feel if a person who is struggling read this stupid ass thread and killed themselves? When you make fun of people because of who they are, you are no different than fucking Hitler. Stupid bitches.

You're a little different than Hitler. He didn't shame the Jews into a self holocaust.
 
Wait wait... this thread is under active moderation.

And the premise has been deemed acceptable enough to not be locked?

It's a trap, they allow us all to come to the trap like bears to marshmellows then spring the trap when they have enough of us.
 
Who cares, free marshmallows!

And I think a lot of people are conflating mentally damaged and mentally handicapped. I'd consider an admitted schizophrenic to be damaged, not handicapped. That's kindof a semantic argument though.
 
Common sense...if they can understand language and write, then they can visit a forum and if they can visit a forum then they probably do and if they probably do they probably have a question or opinion and if they have a question or opinion then they probably want a real answers and logical feedback and if they want real answers and logical feedback then they probably wouldn't come to forums like this.

It's a touchy subject, but I don't suspect either of these two, with their referrals to a particular member, are passing judgment. They are simply stating fact, a fact that has been, unless I am mistaken, reported and accepted by that particular member.

There are other members who we may suspect or judge, but in that case, I do believe it is documented fact, at least based upon the statements provided by that forum member.


However, it appears that the OP may be discussing those with physiological-derived mental handicaps, like Down's Syndrome, which is entirely different from the mental health disorders that quite a few on this forum have (with varying severity and type. Heck, I've... something. That's under investigation 😛)
