Those are comments that go against what I was saying of it's not right to judge their actions from the perspective of a healthy mind. You are clearly condemning their actions and using a viewpoint from a healthy mind to do so. I say that that isn't a fair way to judge them.
I don't remember saying that (without taking it back, anyway).

What I said in the post you quotes was, in summary, that people typically have a shorter fuse with mentally ill people because it's always selfish, always about them, always "me me me".

What you said was yeah, it is selfish and it is me me me, but people should try to be more understanding because mentally ill people often don't realize how selfish they're being due to the illness.

I don't really see how these are opposing viewpoints, or how what I said could even be argued. Any mental health advocate will tell you that there isn't enough compassion and understanding given to those with mental health issues.

Instead, you ran in like a white knight without even really acknowledging what I was saying. I didn't even give a personal viewpoint in what I said. You basically agreed with what I said.
Valid observations. But my post was in reply to your whole body of work in this thread. You have used terms such as 'weak men' etc. I'm just saying that I don't think that is a fair judgement. Pretty sure that makes sense.
