You missed the whole point of the thread.

He’s trolling, bluebells.

Which on a thread where people have opened up about how mental health had affected their lives, where one poster has admitted he’s feeling down, is really quite something.

But this is the guy that ran around the forum posting ‘spectrum’, in unprovoked digs just to try and get a response, so not a huge surprise.

It’s a shame that people like that are able to continue to use the forum, but such is the world we live in.

Evening Winston, mate

I got his trolling ways, but still thought it appropriate to remind him of the threads context.

It takes all sorts and if you have not suffered from depression or mental health issues, it may be easy to be cynical or contrary.

Until it hits home.

How am I trolling.

You're a liar winston, but this isn't the thread to go into this on so I will take the moral high ground.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You said you missed the part about mental health here...the very essence of the thread.

If you are not trolling, what are you doing?

The article is titled "off topic" and he has stayed off topic therefore keeping it on topic which is bad cos it's meant to be off topic.

Bluebells



He’s best ignored on this subject.

Personal experience or not, he knows that he’s written some truly disgusting things on this forum but as he’s showing here - it’s all about the point scoring for him.

Waste of time trying to reason with people like that, and a real shame that the Internet gives a platform for their ignorance.

Fair point.

I like the cut of your jib, sir.

Would you like to join my army?

We need stout fellows.

Cheers Winston.

Freedom of speech and social media, man.

Going to get all sorts.

Nope. I saw the mental health parts. I was talking about mocking mental health, which I didn't see on here. I'm not going to get dragged into this on a thread like this, so as you were.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The thread is about a poster and his partner having mental health issues, so our personal rivalries or ego should take a rest, imo.

I agree. Never said otherwise. Winston thinks I'm trolling but anyone who has ever disagreed with him gets accused of trolling so I'm not too fussed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you like to add to the threads reason for being, perhaps....Winston aside?

Come on lads, op put this up in good faith coming from a personal issue, and it may help some, so don’t drag it down into a Winston vs GT/toor etc epic that will derail the good intent over, frankly, bollox.

Sort it out.

Those long drawn out threads are long gone for me now, what a waste of time they were.

But I don’t apologise for calling him out here and it’s a great opportunity to do so.

He spent several months making fun of me using mental health and now he’s joins this thread ready to poke fun, ignoring the seriousness of what is being discussed, simply to point score as usual.

As far as I’m concerned it’s absolutely fair to highlight that and people can start to see what he is really like.

For someone to do what he’s done and then to brazenly join a thread like this without any remorse is disgusting.

But I agree that it needn’t be a drawn out argument and I’ve no intention of making it one, and simply chose to make that point.

No it’s not Winston. This is a thread the op put up to help people, even if in a small way, it’s not for calling people out. And certainly not for epic Winston threads. Don’t dilute his purpose. If you think GT is a nobb, then call him out elsewhere. Leave this for the op’s purpose. Small things sometimes help people, and even a little gesture from the op, that’s seen some people come forward and state they didn’t feel so good, may be a decent step on a journey to getting proper help.

Start a thread about GT if you want, can’t see what good would come of it, and even whether any others will come forward on this, but don’t destroy the idea with bickering.

I’ve only called him out because he joined the thread to make fun of the subject to me. He knew what he was doing.

And I respectfully disagree, the thread can have multiple purposes and we should be open about how some people behave on this forum with respect to mental health.

As I said though, it’s a long time since one of those ‘epic’ threads you describe and I’ve no intention of this falling into that category. I’ve made my point and don’t think there’s any more to say.

Appreciate you disagree and that’s your prerogative.

We should be good.

But often are not.

Winston, this will be my last post on this for reasons I outlined earlier. . I haven’t fully read it but I didn’t see GT make fun of it. Could be wrong, and he has his faults, but without fully reading back I didn’t see anything that he said was making fun.

Feel free to prove me wrong, but I’d rather see this length bickering stopped in the i spirit of the thread.

In fairness, it was subtle so wouldn’t be obvious to anyone he hadn’t targeted with his mental health related insults in the past.

Take your point though and no intention to let it get out of control
