is it responsible to let the mentally ill revel in their illness?

[amdforever2]

I don't post often but I do lurk lots. I suppose this might get me my first ban, but hopefully not a permaban. It might also be suited better for forum issues.

Anyways, this anarchist420 guy is admittedly mentally ill. He has outright delusions and seriously has a tenuous grasp on reality. He thinks things that are demonstrably false. He is obviously not well and should take a break from politics. A cutter shouldn't be running around the knife store oohing and aahing at all the pretty blades, and a person with his illness and issues should not be posting in a politics forum. Politics and political discussion are obviously very much a part of his issues so why is he not banned?

This place is serving as a tool that enables him to focus on his compulsions. He is not well and him being a member here is not making him more well.

So whats up?

Pedophiles aren't invited to playgrounds. Recovering alcoholics should avoid bars.

Anarchist420 needs to avoid politics.

By not banning him, the mods may be letting you revel in yours.

I don't mean to be mean spirited by posting this I just don't think the guy is well. A lot of the stuff he posts is over the top and he has admitted he has some health issues. Idk....

There's enough room in this world (and these forums) for different perspectives. I don't want to be part of your tidy world. Sometimes a little craziness is what's needed.

Mental illness is what keeps P&N going strong.

Truer words have never been spoken.
