Let me satisfy my own criteria for writing this one off. I still think he could actually contribute if he tried. If he would try to communicate reasonably and positively - or at least coherently - he'd be a step ahead of a couple longtime dwellars in that respect. I'm trying to explain to him, in a way, WHY so much of the community has already written him off. It's one thing to express yourself badly - its another to not try at all.

Sometimes people with mental illness have a lot of trouble putting together coherent thoughts, especially when it comes to abstract ideas.
Some people could do with a bit more compassion and little less judgement when it comes to posters with these sorts of issues. Unlike others who've joined us with mental issues, JB doesn't seem to be trying to cause anyone any harm. I see his posts as some kind of journey for him/her (I'm thinking him) as he works his way through the quagmire that his mind must be in. Some of the drugs people take for schizophrenia can make you little better than a walking zombie. Try not to be too hard on him.

I understand a little of your frustration Ibs. I know from a couple of conversations with JB that he is interesting and creative. He has a very particular take on the world which is unusual and at times quite compelling.
But y'know...this is who he is. Some of the time when you talk to him, what you are actually doing is participating in one of his thought pieces. But he's never been anything except totally honest about that. We all communicate differently. Right now, in this place, with us, this is how JB communicates. I can live with that. From time to time, something he says irks me and I engage with him about that. But how he says it is his own affair. He is a part of this community and has, in my opinion, earned his place as a regular dwellar. He brings something different. He communicates in his own way. He isn't flinging shit at people, or splurging his unique way of looking at the world into every thread or forum. The more outlandish stuff is contained with its own series of threads which we, as fellow dwellars may choose to participate in, or not.

And the reason I give for this lunacy.. in case any of those black market fbi guys might be listing is that I was under a satanic strong hold.
