Slimer started by saying someone with morals and values would not "submit" to anxiety...

Sandman
Nope, he still didn't.

Indeed. It should be in any person's interest not see him- or herself as a victim and let others suffer from it.

Snit
Sure. But having such an illness DOES impact most people's families.

Sandman
No one has claimed it doesn't.

Snit
For the most part I agree... though such illnesses can lead to people, even doing their best, treating others poorly or being more dependant than they want to be. This is also true of many other illnesses.

Sandman
But the people around you will know if you're making an effort, if you're doing your best to contain and control your problem.

Living with someone with mental issues is always going to take a poll on you, but the person WITH the mental illness should always want their loved ones to feel that you made every effort to not let it affect them. Some things are out of your control, but many things are IN your control.

Slimer obviously feels you're not exercising that control on USENET, and blames you for it.

Snit
Who I convince? What? Heck, most of those who troll me in COLA do so just to troll.

Sandman
Again, according to you. Also something you've yet to convince another living person of, right?

See, when you say something like the above, it's only one little voice in a sea of voices that disagree with you.
