Its really those reasons that I have departed from the board at times because of over activity by the remaining deputies. But this is my personal opinion.
But posts like these are definitely offensive towards a specific person, they are ad hominem attacks, one could say, but the only thing to do really is to have as as strong a steel stomach as possible or just ignore them.
I would use the word "troll" for this specific posting but I've been warned even when I describe a post about that.
I know that there are obviously a lot of people who are weakened (and please don't take that personally that I mean that you are weak in nature at all or that it is your fault that you are stuck in a biochemical disorder) in their ability to stomach Schadenfreude [there is no English word for it, it is pleasure in someones misery] because of their individual disorders but as noted there is nothing much that can be done until someone who is that unkind and unsympathetic is removed.-- tidings
