I know this is from a while ago but this is the first time I've read this thread, so bear with me. I hate to chair the anti-fun committee once again, but I've noticed a lot of cheap shots on GC directed at people who deal with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, "people who don't take their medication," etc. lately. It's stigmatization of these issues that leads to people not seeking help, and given that 20 percent of all people suffering from bipolar disorder ultimately end up committing suicide, I'd think we'd want to minimize the stigmatization rather than add to it.
Taking up my spot as the uber-PC girl on this board once again -- while "manic depression" might be a fun throw-around term for you, it's not a ton of fun for those who actually deal with it (clearly, given the suicide statistics). And given that PHAShriner's behavior doesn't even really reflect that of a bipolar person, if you insist on throwing out medical terms, you could have found a more accurate personality disorder/mental illness to name drop. Antisocial personality disorder, maybe?
Back to the actual topic of this thread: so yeah, why hasn't this guy been banned yet?
