Re: Non-fandom secrets!

*sigh*

Someone upthread said something along the lines of 'I think conservatism should be/is a mental illness'.

All the comments after reacted as if this person was tossing that out there like a little pebble in a sea.

I provided the links to show that, no, this one person didn't just think that up, it's been bandied about in actual news sites and what have you that being of the 'conservative' mind set is a mental illness. I posted the links to show that, not to 'prove' that the Repubs/cons are mentally ill.

Do i think they're a bunch of asshats, who have some fundamental thing missing? (Like empathy. Or logic. Or common friggin' sense?) Yes, i do. Do i think they're mentally ill? No.

But it's a part of the blogosphere, if you will, and looking around online and clicking various links takes you from 'tongue in cheek' Psychology Today articles to others that a lot more serious in tone and intent (though serious in actual research/content is debatable).

Sorry if you missed the point of my posts. I don't think mental illness is a joke or trivial, and i'm sorry if this makes you, whoever you are, think that I do, and makes you see me in some kind of bad light. That's too bad. But if you extrapolate from this that I somehow think that mentally ill people or their illnesses are a joke, or stupid, or whatever, that's not only too bad but also incorrect.

I'm not going to be around for a bit, so any reply to this likely won't get seen until later in the day, and there's no guarantee i'll reply, anyway, as I've said all i think needs to be said.

I didn't think the other responders said anything like "You just made this up right now, didn't you!" As far as I could read into it they were all saying simply "No, I think you are wrong." Of course people are going to disagree, this is a thread for secrets and it is a pretty strong opinion. And I especially didn't, and don't, get the importance of it being discussed before this one person on FS said something about it. So what if other people have talked about the same thing? It has nothing to do with whether OP is right or wrong.

So yes, that led me to interpret your comments as supportive of seeing Republicans as mentally ill, especially since I found the links to be in such bad taste. I am glad to hear that is wrong, it really does make me feel better.
