I'm surprised by the number of replies to this post.

No you're not.

[QUOTE 3030037, member: 30090"]You think that I was implying you then Andy? Interesting...[/QUOTE]

So you're not above the old "snide remark" then?

Have you reported the thread yet?

 

[glasgowcyclist]

He tagged @Shaun early on, making his views on the thread clear. The lack of response, and the fact that a "staff member" was first to wade in with the nutcase epithet, is indicative of a lack of understanding around mental health problems.

It's obvious that it isn't treated seriously on here, and that's quite disappointing.

That's not reporting the thread though, is it? If he was genuine in his desire for the thread to be closed I'm sure that reporting it, with a clear outline of his complaints and concerns, would have resulted in the thread being locked or removed. That it's gone on this long suggests he's done nowt.

Have you reported fossy's initial response?

FWIW, I don't think there is a lack of understanding or empathy surrounding Droid's mental health issues (which he may or may not have, I don't know). Perhaps some of the language is a little unfortunate, but I don't think that's a genuine indication of the level of understanding that users of the forum have surrounding mental health.

I'm quite impressed that you are able to make a diagnosis of a mental disorder remotely, simply by viewing a few short YouTube clips. The NHS is in need of people like you.

 

[Hip Priest]

It's not about diagnosing someone, it's about use of language. Do try and keep up.

Then please comment directly on his videos, not on a forum where he is no longer a member. And consider too that not all of us enjoy perfect mental health.

Back in your box newt.

 

[Hip Priest]

Don't be so rude. That doesn't support your assertion at all.

Don't be so rude? I suggest you address your own considerable hauteur before lecturing others on manners.

GlasgowCyclist has clearly implied, on more than one occasion, that he considers Droid to be mentally ill.

 

[Herzog]

What's the distinction between having "mental health issues and being let loose on a bike" and "being a bit of an irritant with a misguided approach to safe driving/cycling"...? I'm not supporting either argument, but am interested to hear the views of those who are defending him on the grounds of him having possible mental issues (which is impossible to diagnose on the basis of an internet profile alone).

Can people be not be idiots anymore without having some kind of diagnosable (and therefore treatable - $$$) condition?

How's this not a 'snide remark' then?

I can't speak for User30090 or what he wants the Mods to do. I certainly wouldn't want the thread closed, what purpose would that serve? If we're hoping (as I do) to achieve a better understanding of mental health and remove the widespread stigma and misconceptions surrounding it, we need to be able to directly challenge some of the attitudes displayed in this thread.

Generally, I agree with you. However, I'm not sure that this is the right thread on the forum to be discussing a serious issue.

What's your take on the one where he ends up facing the wrong way into traffic that's about to head off?

Oh do shut up, now you are trolling.

 

[Soup890]

The reason why I find him annoying is when he screams and shouts at people. And when he chases them down.

Some people may find it entertaining. But each to there own.

Have you no control over the videos that appear on your screen?

Yeah I do. But I just flick through them once in a while. But I just to see other people views on him.
