Surprised No One Mentioned This

But seriously, the shipping explanation in his ebay description really says it all - the guy has some problems and needs help. He can't compose his thoughts. But, like we are still doing with Joey, I guess the Net54 thing to do is to make fun of him any chance we get. That should at least make us feel better, right?

Actually, what am I thinking - we kind of jump on anyone when the opportunity presents itself, mental issues or not.

I would surmise as long as he is acting crazier than a road lizard, on ebay, there will be comments. When he quits acting weird in public then I think people will move on. It's like a continuous wreck....


edited to add, I agree with what Peter said right above too.....

This is true: an unkempt young guy just stumbled by (not drunk), talking to himself - actually, more like arguing with himself. This happens every morning, but not always the same guy. I guess the thing to do would be to laugh at him and perhaps discuss what a weirdo he is with the people around me. When it comes down to it, crazy road lizard or not, that's how we handle things on the internet.

But I do understand the train wreck thing. If we take digs at each other just for our own amusement and the little bit of aggravation we can cause the recipient, and we are sane, then taking digs at crazy people makes total sense.

Think I'll wear my fedora today. I might even start collecting cheap, shitty autographed cards and photos.

I was just calling it the way I saw it Scott and wasn't being politically correct, on purpose.

Generally speaking I absolutely agree with you, but the Adrian thing hits so close to home. Now if this were some unknown to the board person, it would be different, imo. (and to me)

and I should add one other thing too, I work with people with mental conditions weekly, so do have an empathetic point of view and would never make fun of anyone for their condition(s).....again, unless it's so close to home with a personal sort of relationship ie ...Adrian..etc.
