This is terribly sad. I remember running into someone like that on Usenet back before I could tell they were obviously sick (I was still a kid). It was very hard to realize this person simply did not share some concepts I took as building blocks of reality; at the time I still thought talking through things “logically” would work with anyone.

Yes. This is heartbreaking. I flagged it because I’m not sure that this content is especially relevant. It seems like this post can only hurt
The Github Issue is worse. You don't handle schizophrenics by being rude to them.

Props to @tcrowe for the sound dissent.

Really?

@tcrowe appears to be a troll. https://github.com/tcrowe

I also flagged this submission. The title of the submission makes it clear that it was posted to gawk/make fun of the person posting it. They state in their manifesto that they are living in a shelter, so presumably they are already in a place where they can get help.

There are already some rude and callous comments posted on Github, and I don't think we need to bring any more there. @tcrowe is using it as an opportunity to grandstand and I don't think any more attention is needed there, either.

Yes, props to @tcrowe for telling the rude people they're a bunch of shit-covered foreigners who should shut up. Real civic-mindedness on display there. Mad props.
