It started with red_girl_42 who is a reasonable person although I don't agree with her on this subject, and then bernmarx jumped in and it all went to hell.
I generally have a good opinion of red_girl_42. I'm sad that she's jumping on the accusatory bandwagon.
I hadn't read the comments on Kate's post; when I read it there were still only four or five comments. I'm pretty irritated by the person insisting that there has to be some underlying mental illness or whatever.
Me, I'm a cheerful person, have had a really bad last couple of years, but overall I'm happy, easily amused, in love with life, and I nearly killed myself after my partner died last year. I don't, insofar as I know, have a mental illness, I'm not a terrible pessimist, nothing like that. It's just that sometimes some things are a little more than you can cope with.
