Rule Changes + New Restrictions
RE: Rule Changes + New Restrictions
Ehhh, Lily, given things we've discussed, I wouldn't say those with mental illnesses could/should/would regard them as something along the lines of a common cold. ;p [Those curious: That's up to her to divulge if she so desires, otherwise, I am full of shush]

Some could be considered mild. Heck, many people never even realize their issues cause them any grief. Granted, they tend to still be suffering either way, but sometimes, it doesn't really affect their lives much to the point of markedly increasing the difficulty of their lives.

I'm still on the fence as to whether or not mental illness should be called an illness, or a disease, or a malady, or what have you.

All I know is the shit stinks no matter what it's called.

Where's the rule listed that no other member but me can have a Picard avatar?

We like to encourage our members to engage each other on issues which divide them.

Make it so.

I always was... but what fun is it if they don't panic?

Bleh, most of them are barely worthy of note.

Some, however, are notable. I think that it's important to find the distinctions between such Smile

Some probably should. Many probably shouldn't. It's semantic and categorical.

It's an unwritten rule. Those who disobey subsequently are ostracized from the community for their great hubris.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
