Why did any call for "help" need to be public unless it was a method of sidetracking my opinions so you could cast them off as the rantings of a depressed, diabetic fool?
Good grief, Josh. You are doing nothing but revealing your own prejudices. I have several family members who have struggled with depression, as I did during my marriage. My father is diabetic, as well. None of them are fools, nor would I ever insinuate they were. But you have insinuated just that.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Still spinning. Good call. Can I hire you when I run for president? :)
Well, then, if all I am doing is spinning, you should be able to easily demonstrate where people - other than you, of course - said that being depressed or diabetic is the equivalent of being a FOOL.

YOU are the only one who has said or insinuated that.

I am a diabetic too. Have been for almost 8 years. I also take an antidepressant. Have done for over 15 years. Neither of those diseases makes anyone a fool. One can be a fool without or with those or any other disease. As far as I know, there is no medical diagnosis for being a fool. That's not a medical problem and being a fool is not in any way related to a medical problem.

*Sigh* Your staring at the tree and ignoring the whole damn forest.

So then why did either of these facts need to be brought up during the long runs of dirt digging? Since I believe that all of that nonsense from Mr. Scratchy and Dr. Crackerjack was nothing more than a sideshow to discredit me, it then goes to show that bringing up my past depression and diabetes also somehow contributed to this nonsense. So she declared me a depressed, diabetic fool. It is my interpretation of her completed message. I mean I don't know how many people bought into this crap that she was trying to sincerely say I needed help. Beyond the fact she is unqualified to make that statement, if she were that serious, she would have privately discussed that rather than make a big, public, and very attention getting series of statements and board cross-postings to discredit me and prove her "point".
People who honestly think someone is suicidal and depressed would be irresponsible by doing ANY of the things Beastie did. If I truly were that unstable, her dirt campaign could have easily pushed me over the edge. Of course she most likely would have shrugged it off if her actions did push me to suicide, but you'd hope a glimmer of care might creep out of her heart.
Along with repeating the pattern of your former behavior on every other board I've ever seen you on, you stated that "no one ever wanted to know you", and that "everyone demonized you" online. You were clearly, and I mean clearly, NOT just talking about your experience on this board, but your "YEARS online".
I replied that I think you need to get help.
You protested that I had made this comment ONLY to attack and discredit you.
To provide context for my comment encouraging you to get help, I provided more background information about your past, troubling behavior. This included your frequent references to your depression. Someone else brought up your diabetes because you blamed your depression on diabetes yourself.
The depression and diabetes had NOTHING to do with trying to make you look like a fool. They were to provide context on why we were encouraging you to get help, which you were insisting was nothing but a personal attack.
The irony is that while I encouraged you to get help, I mentioned that *I* had gotten therapy in the past, and have obtained it for my children. Yet, in your world, that still means that I said you need help because I was really calling you a depressed, diabetic, fool.

Obessed and arrogant. Your not in a position where you can suggest "I get help". And frankly, for troubling behavior, your obsession with me coupled with your nasty dirt digging smear campaign could certainly be more interesting fodder in a call for help.
