125. Stockholm Syndrome isn't a mental illness, leftofcool.

Wed Dec 2, 2015, 10:45 AM

Dec 2015

It's an entirely ordinary thing that happens to real people all the time. There's no "accusation". The entire mess around his post about Stockholm Syndrome flushed out all the stupidest people on this website, the flatulent, petulant, hypocritical morons. The people whose attention is spent on farcical misinterpretations of things in order to take offense at them. It. Was. Bullshit.

Yes. It was bullying. The whole thread was. And the reason it was bullying is BECAUSE WillyT is so positive.

So, yeah. That's the way it ACTUALLY is.

I bet there's a small subthread about it here. I can't see it as I put most of the whiny fuckwits on ignore ages ago. Good riddance. Let them rot. Let them post "yawn."

Anybody with two brain-cells to rub together can see perfeclty well for themeselves EXACTLY what was happening.

Emote away, petal. Bring out your most carefully selected smilies.
