[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 6162449, member: 177"] [color=darkorange] [B]I understand that our society has a great deal of trouble dealing with mental health. I will even concede that there are some mental health problems which would be problematic in a gaming social situation, such that you'd not want to have such folks in your game. However, your blanket coverage there is yet one more bit of negative stereotyping we do not need. The world does not need more ignorant perpetuation of stigma. Please, in the future, take care in how you approach the subject.[/B][/color] [color=darkorange] [B]Dozen, I understand the reasons why you're blowing up here. However, this will not help the conversation to move forward in a constructive manner. Getting aggressive will not teach Jasper, or anyone else, a darned thing about how to deal with folks with mental health issues, or even why they're wrong to speak in such a manner. Please, if you see such things in the future, report the post and allow the moderators to handle the offense, rather than take it on yourself. We expect that, from this point forward, the subject of those with mental health problems will be approached with mindfulness and respect.
