Yes, it was addressing what you said. I related it to the topic of the thread because it's the topic of the thread, but I wasn't saying you thought mental illness was an excuse for him. I was just adding my thoughts as it pertained to this situation.
As in, she said mental illness isn't an excuse. You said, the mental health professionals you know would disagree (paraphrasing). I said, it's a reason for some people, but it's not an excuse. It follows from your comment. The rest of my post was just applying that opinion to the situation we're discussing.
