If your really believe he has problems, then you may be causing him harm
just to get a reaction and continue what appears to be a sport. If you are
using mental illness to poke fun at him, without thinking that he is really
mentally ill, then you may be indirectly hurting individuals who may read
this exchange now or at a later time, who are afflicted.

Is it worth it for just a few snappy replies to someone who you find
irritating? IMHO, no.

Sure. They're just your "friends". We get it. Perhaps you are making better
progress if you think of them that way.

For people with emotional or mental disorders: forums, newsgroups, chat
rooms, and other forms of online text communications are possibly *the*
worst place for them to get their needs met. Due to the very nature of
being able to read anything they want to or project into others' written
words, they only end up compounding their psychoses and skewed emotional
states. They are purposely choosing to make themselves worse, never better.

Wrong. The human capacity for rationalization is practically infinate;
and that includes those of us who are, um, "differently rational" just
as much as it does anyone else.

They simply turn it around and decide that *you* are the one who's not
firmly bolted to the floor.

Fine. So don't do it.

Meanwhile, somebody needs to speak to you about your hobby of being a
net-nanny.
