In reply to the discussion: Snowden (who really does, apparently, have epilepsy) helps an epileptic. [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)you have such great respect for people? Please. Indicting people with baseless accusations like you just did is a textbook example of UNPROFESSIONAL. I guess smearing is fine when you're the one doing it?
If you're concerned about "unprofessional discussions" you need to start with the individual in your own mirror, because your remarks take the cake.
Please point to any tarring and feathering happening in this thread. Your imagination doesn't count. Show me where people are insulting, mocking, deriding or abusing Snowden.
You obviously didn't read the OP link. Had you so done, you would have seen where SNOWDEN diagnosed the woman with whom he was conversing with epilepsy, based on, as HE said, his OWN symptoms.
If you're suggesting we can't talk about epilepsy and how it manifests itself, how it affects people, what the signs, symptoms, and affects are associated with it, well too frigging bad. We CAN and if you don't like it go on and use that swell HIDE THREAD feature. You aren't the net nanny and you are, quite simply, dead wrong.
And if "electroshock therapy" is frightening to you, you must not have gotten out of your cubicle much at that hospital you claimed to work at. Most people in the medical field aren't frightened by it, they regard it as a tool, nothing more. You'd think you'd be on the side of EDUCATING and not FEAR MONGERING.
Or would you want all that enlightening information to be stamped Top Secret and hidden away in an NSA vault, in case "someone" can't handle it, and so no one can have the knowledge of it and it remains a mystery to all but "pharmacists who used to work in a psychiatric hospital?"
What stunning hypocrisy. To say nothing of hubris. I won't even go into what a lousy and insult-laden argument you presented; that was pretty obvious early on.
