Hoi, I am afraid that this is a misrepresentation. Romaine is a "self confessed" person with Asperger. Within our community we have an overrepresentation with people with a mental health issue. This is to be expected. This is typically not appreciated hardly ever understood. I have noticed before that people with a mental health issue got into problems including the imposition of a life time ban.
I do not know about trained and responsible but when there is no experience with mental health, given the composition of our community when there is no understanding for mental health issues, I do not think trained and responsible is justified. The notion that we are dealing with a "mob" is not helpful, it alienates the people you target with your speech. It prevents us from getting to an understanding.\ Thanks, GerardM
I wish I had articulated so well the source of my shame at being part of a movement that has yielded this result for this case. It seems like self-righteous, crusading intolerance at work.
