I agree with you that his note was also inappropriate. I saw yours first. I see now what provoked you.
I think it would be good if people try to keep in mind that, even if you can't keep a minimum of respect for the person that you're angry at, when you use certain kinds of attacks on them on a list, that has a kind of collateral damage. When you attack people using the language of mental illness, I think it is like that. it's kind of a collateral hit on everyone else who has issues or has had issues with mental illness or has been close to people who have had issues with mental illness. And as I assume we all know, that is a very big set of people.
