Me too. Not sure why artifact_44's comment is dead so I vouched for it, I don't see what is gained by throwing around psychiatric terms, used pejoratively, for no good reason (could there be a good reason on HN? I doubt it but I don't see one here).
So I think it's wrong of the author to flame other people publicly. I really denounce that. I shouldn't have gone for the jugular, using a word for a real illness. I apologise for that. That was wrong. The reason I wrote that was to convey my feeling that the author is doing something bad, writing an unstructured misspelled text bullying people with allegations that are also not verifiable. I should have thought about what actually bothered me before I commented.
"Then,, KevinDS on DSLReports was just a incredible ass to me. It was epic. I believe he also lied to me in PM when i tried to get him to help. I was already unhappy with the future that I was looking at. He then just said nasty things. I was done. It would be a thankless battle I would wage on my own and I was unwilling because of people like him. So KevinDS take a bow. CableLabs loves you, Intel loves you, Arris loves you.. I was a huge thorn in thier side. The Badmodems.com site gets 700 uniqui IPs a day. 380,000 unique since the start. 16 million hits. So KevinDS, you pushed me enough at the right time to end all this. I will NOT spend the next 5 years in a new battle that is thankless and filled with people like you."
The content above doesn't belong on the front page, simply put. It's very negative, and I'm sorry that I just continued with the negativity.
It's far easier for the lazy to dismiss based on tone rather than content. Crazy people are distressed (at least when we notice them), so distressed people are crazy. But hidden in PC language about concern, illness, and help, while pretending to be a psychologist.
To label a person or behavior psychotic requires a psychiatrist’s evaluation. It’s not good in general to dilute the meanings of established medical terms of art by throwing them around carelessly.
