The kanicbird konundrum

I’m not sure asshole is in the DSM-V.

Stick your nose into one and there will be.

c’mon man, that doesn’t even make any sense. My nose is an asshole? That’s fucking weak.

Try again.

Hey, if it’s closely enough associated with one some of the essential nature is bound to rub off, which is why I don’t hang around you DSM freaks.

You got nuthin’

Thanks to my major in college and my first career, I am painfully aware of the DSM in all its incarnations. And if I’d majored in Theology, I’d still be familiar because the DSM used to be trotted out regularly by lazy religious nutters as evidence that homosexuality reflects deviant behavior. Since the Vth revision, it appears that lazy religious nutters trot out the DSM as evidence that a dearth of religiosity within its covers indicates the sanity of believers.

Here’s hoping that the 6th edition contains a chapter devoted to dissecting religious fervor and at least a footnote devoted to your brand of vacillating piety. (I know, I know, you aren’t like the others; your particular subscribtion to Christianity is sane, logical, and provable, and lacking in any archaic ritual practices or beliefs.) You aren’t like kanicbird. You aren’t like kanicbird. You aren’t like kanicbird.

Have you tried clicking your heels?

And you associate with people who demonize (oh, sorry… ‘diagnose’) everyone who is just a little different from what they think the mainstream should be.

How the Hell did you get the idea that I have religious piety? I haven’t been to church in years. However, I’m enough of a son of a bitch to call assholes out when they are being hateful disingenuous assholes. If douchebags use a thread like this, which is about a schizophrenic, to post passive aggresive insults on religion, I’m sure as Hell going to call them assholes.

That’s my whole goddamn point.

You’re not referring in any way to kanicbird as one who is “just a little different from the mainstream”, are you?

Nah. Your point was to derail the thread and make it about you, and defend your religious belief while maligning kanicbird’s as extreme and not representative of religious belief.

Are you leaving out the very real possibility that the person that this thread is about is nothing but a shit-spewing troll? I’m not sure schizophrenia is something you can diagnose(let alone treat) over the internet.

No, I’m referring to things like ‘schizoid personality disorder’, or “You’re diseased because you don’t have as many friends as you should.”

You know, that and attachment therapy. Things like that.

No, you idiots made it about me. I TOLD you to address kanicbird. You didn’t. You didn’t even comment on his post! You addressed me, you fucking morons! Fucking hell, man.
I’m done for now.
Except for this:

Czarcasm, I AM leaving out the possibility that he’s a troll. I’m doing that on purpose with my posts. He very well might be a troll, I don’t know. I look at this way: If I ere on the side that he’s schizophrenic, and he’s a troll, then fuck that guy and we go our separate ways. If I ere on the side that he’s a troll and he’s schizophrenic, I might do damage. So looking at it that way, I’d rather pay the price of being the butt of a troll joke than paying the price of damaging somebody’s mental health.

You know, I was waiting on a substantive response to the points raised in the essays I linked to, but as long as the members of the psychiatric community and their defenders act like this, I doubt that will happen in my lifetime.

DSM-V

:eek:

Wait, so you ARE treating him over the internet? Probably not a good idea, man.

And it’s err, not ere. “Ere” is a poetic word that means “before.”

This may in fact be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read here.

One does not “charm” the snakes-- They are passed. From the left to the right, as God wills it to be.

Trying to avoid saying things that might push a nutjob over the edge is not “treating.”

This particular nutjob is broadcasting from so far past the edge that he couldn’t find his way back with Google Maps, a team of Sherpa guides and Pocahontas herself. Trying to avoid pushing him over the edge is like trying to avoid making water wet.

Yeah, he’s past an edge all right. But there’s another edge this bozo could teeter over and on the other side is a mall full of dead shoppers with demon faces.
