Man, I go away for a while, thinking I will not bother replying to you any more as I feel I have to constantly repeat myself and be subject to false accusations from you based on what you ASSUME I meant, and you're STILL going on about me? To be honest, I knew SOMEONE would get their knickers in a twist over my post, due to misunderstandings, and I kinda even guessed it would be you *shrug*Wingsrising wrote: I presume it is clear that I object strongly to some of the things Ziggy (and to a lesser extent, other posters on this thread) have said, I hope it is now clear what it is exactly I object to, I doubt my saying any more will have an effect.
So you misinterperetted what I said and decided to be offended by it, Im sorry for you. But your posts continuing to get on at me are simply showing me you really REALLY didn't get what I was trying to say, as you're repeatedly inadvertantly accusing me of implying things I never implied, simply because, it seems to me, you have a chip on your shoulder and are desperate to prove everyone is out to beat up on the 'depressed' people.
No one is doing that. You don't need to leap in to try and defend the 'underdog' as there is no underdog here. I think everyone here is very much in agreement that depression is serious and not something to fuck about with.
And since you've pushed me to it, YES, I've suffered from it. But hey, what the fuck do I know, right?
Im not going to repeat myself any more. I've said repeatedly that I don't view depressed people as weak, you've repeatedly stated you think I do (I'd be interested in hearing your reasons as to WHY you think I'd take that stance when my best friend of 10 years whom I love to death is clinically depressed. I guess I must think she's weak, right?)
It doesn't take a HUGE amount of common sense to realise that if someone has a best friend who suffers from something, they aren't going to think negatively of people also suffering from it.
Then you stated you 'weren't telepathic' so couldn't possibly know what I really meant, so take it from me, that ISN'T what I meant, ok? So can we please stop rabbiting on and on with these assumptions and pieces of blind guess work about what I MIGHT have meant and what it says about me as a person?
What trick said is correct. Since she actually knows me as a person, or at least better than you do, she is able to accept my stance and see what I was trying to say without blind guess work. And she got it a lot better than you did, which speaks volumes.
Reply away. Hell, I may even read it (nothing is worse than people who pull the whole 'Im leaving this thread!!!!' but you know they're sticking around to read really, so Im not gonna lie) but Im sure as hell not replying since this is one of the worst cases of brick wall I've come up against in a while, and I don't think any amount of replying will make you think anything other than what you seem to already think; that Im self righteous, don't 'get' the woes of the poor depressed people or am just flat out ignorant to what depression is (despite having suffered from it, fucking LOL)
