Sure, I agree with you 100 percent, the afore-mentioned person does seem like a whack-job. In fact, I tried to throw a little sense to him myself before his thread got closed, but I've just learned it isnt my place to make those judgements based on things I have witnessed in the past.

I do respect the contributions of the members of this site and it certainly is not my intent to stir up any old feelings or hurt or otherwise cause grief to anyone in anyway. I dont really have an answer to that so much as to say that the same goes for any board related to a serious health condition that at the same time attempts to make an effort to raise awareness and assist new members in the determination of whether they might be afflicted by the given condition. This was a real problem at the other board I mentioned, and I myself felt bad for those suffering the disease that had the heart to respond to the crazies who would not accept reality over there.

Another thing, being 22 years old really puts an entirely different spin on things for something of this nature. With everything thats happened to me over the past year and a half, Id consider myself pretty happy to make it to even 55 years old. Ive been alive just long enough to know the good in life, but not to enjoy it, and thats a really hard thing to have to deal with on your own.

Obviously, if I come across someone truly in need, particularly someone with a recent diagnosis or otherwise dealing with the disease, Im not going to give it a seconds worth of thought before I send them right over here. But someone who mirrored my situation would take a little more thought.
