Well, that click was too fast. :) You haven't read my original message well enough, so much is clear. I clearly stated that the illness I mentioned is a serious mental disorder I don't want to make fun of. The characteristics of it however can be used to describe the acts of someone very well. Comparing someones behaviour with a mental handicap deosn't say that person is menatlly handicapped, nor that someone with that mental handicap is less worth than I. The handicap of someone mentally ill (not CW, mind you)however is real, and there's no need in denying the symptoms nor the description. And there is certainly no reason to forbid the use of the symptoms as comparison for other's behaviour, as it can be (mind you: not "is") very illuminating. The failure to read my original message properly -or understand it properly, what obviously happened to you- is another reason for people not to complain too fast. No harm intended - peace indeed. :) Jeroen ;-}
