Well, idiot, that post you responded to was not to you.

So you can create your own logic hole but we still won't be talking about the same thing. Run along.

Le sign... Why I care, one will never know? I do not need a catpoop filled sandbox to be a Ruler, unlike others do... Calling you names is so puerile... Who could ask any more of you? LOL..

I was never talking about statistical normalization and the divulging of on GC. I was talking about the flipside of "deviance," which is the perception of normalcy based on factors such as the real or perceived prevalance of disorders in the population and (sub)cultural norms of disorders. Afterall, there are people who don't take care of their physical health because they think it's "normal" to be overweight and to have "sugar."

First, your disdain for my experience is obvious... The "Deviance" you are talking about is "violation" of cultural normalcy and criminality... People who suffer from mental health conditions are not violating cultural norms or are not all criminals. They are sick just like someone who has cancer or heart disease. The PERCEPTIONS that people have on the mentally ill are inaccurate. The PERCEPTIONS of normalcy that mental illness sufferers to have are not about "deviance"... And I have told you this before...

Second, yes, I understood your posted concept. You choose to ignore what I say because you hate what I say... You choose to be antagonistic that is disrespectful. And while you may disagree with my thoughts and opinions, which is your prerogative, choosing to call me names only shows more of your faulty logic.

Third, I know a smidgen about physical health, obesity and diabetes in your analogy... And I know something about mental health, too... So, my opinions are professional. I am too old and tired of battling people's arrogance here on GC. I just cannot do it anymore. I am who I say I am. I don't change my username. I don't hide behind other members being my proponents. I am a bad liar, so I don't do it...

Sorry I am "deviating" for what you consider the normal course of health actions, but it is just not "cool" or "hip" or whatever colloquialism that is used today, to say these things to me when you have not tried to even get to know me personally...

So, please, just do not engage in conversation with me. You are not a person who I would choose to share discourse. Nothing you say is positive to me and it hurts more than it heals. Nothing and no one, is going to change my mind about it, especially after the training I had after last weekend.

We all will be much better off... Thanks...

You can't "tell" me anything just as I can't "tell" you to subscribe to (or even understand the different applications of, based on your post) the "deviance" approach to mental health. More than that, you are still missing what I am saying so I wasted my time in explaining it.

Suffice it to say, 99% of what you posted is based on faulty assumptions and delusions of grandeur. You aren't the only one with professional experience and opinions in this thread.

I called you an idiot for the same reason you're going on a tangent about arrogance and usernames right now. You think it applies. I sometimes read your posts and wonder if you're in the same discussion that everyone else is.
