Has anyone considered that he is indeed troubled and his forum escapades are cathartic to his condition ?

Many with cerebral challenges need an outlet to help control the condition. A purging of thoughts, emotions, fears, desires ...

Without that release, they might take a turn for the worse. I know it happens. I had a friend from high school who always got depressed and talked his head of about stuff no one really understood, and sometimes talked of suicide when he was wasted. They made fun of him and ostracized him. Him and I had a falling out. Eventually, when no one gave him the time of day, he put a bullet through his brain. I still fight feelings of responsibility about his suicide. Like maybe I could have done more to understand him, and If I had, he might still be with us today.

Maybe his participation here is all about the attention, but is that so bad really? Dont most people seek attention from others? Is that not why we participate here? Isolation is good for no one and maybe he is fighting those feeling of isolation.

When it comes down to it we are all brothers and sisters on thios big rock, and we need each other.
