Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors.
(as per the Mayo clinic)

If this is a mental disorder, then why do we allow the patients to run the asylum? Why do we have mentally compromised people trying to set a national policy that allows them to indulge their disorder?

would we allow people afflicted with Munchhausen access to their kids? Or if you want to look at other people who just hurt themselves, would we allow people who want to cut themselves places they could do so?

I fucking hate you.

Your hatred is wasted on him. He's such a megalomaniac that his douchebaggery is rationalized as righteous teaching, and anything negative directed his way is the result of you not understanding how right (and righteous) he is. See his earlier remark in this thread about understanding how Jesus felt trying to teach the Pharisees.

I imagine Drich is a pretty terrifying individual IRL.

Why not just stick to addressing his arguments rather than making things personal though? 

I did that already.

I think they call this... Narcissistic Personality Disorder.    Hey, there's that word Disorder!

I'm sorry CL, but I feel he is a mean, hateful person. He makes me feel ill. I honestly wish he'd leave AF and never come back. I have little tolerance for those in this world who target the vulnerable. [emoji53]

Have you considered blocking him?

Actually, no. I forgot all about that function. I will seriously consider using it after what I've seen here.
