We either take him as an equal (the right thing to do) in which case he got what he deserves, or we understand his condition and make allowances for it (at some expense to the members here who may need to walk on eggshells when communicating with him.) I've preferred to wrongly take the second approach as it makes him happy and I can always (do) ignore all his ego stuff... Should we all have played the grown ups and not fallen into his trap? who knows what is the right thing to do?
I don't think one necessarily has to choose one or the other. Both approaches may be called for depending on the particulars of the situation and I think both reflect a greater concern for his overall well-being.

This Hammy. Don't use as it as an excuse...
They (secular society and it's traps) did that to me.
They told me my laziness is not laziness and could not even be called that since it's not my fault.
It was only when I began to severely bash myself for my laziness that things changed.
You are going to have be your worse critic. You are going to have be hard on yourself.
Everything they tell you in psychology, do the damn opposite.
Just a word from experience, Mystic. The learning curve for dealing with a mental illness is long and mastery over it is a project which is seemingly never complete in its entirety. Try not to mistake where you are now for necessarily being the end of the road with respect to adapting to your illness, nor that the approach you take today might not appear so wise in the future. Humility as well as strength is required in dealing with any hardship.
