You guys are kidding right? Your not ACTUALLY reading that much into every little thing typed on this goofy thread are you? If the people here are THAT sensetive to every little thing put down and have to super analyse every word typed then this may be the Last post I bother making here. Which is kinda sad cause it seemed like a nice forum about the game. Life is serious enough, I don't need BS like this on some goofy forum thread for a game.
Put Bluntly, there are people on this forum who are Schizophrenic. I won't name them as It's their life and it shouldn't be talked about without consent. It's not us super-analysing anything, it's the fact you could be offending somebody here who has Schizophrenia.

To name one of these people: Me. I'm not offended by remarks like that but it is annoying when people inadvertently say something not true about the condition. I'm just saying be careful what you say on those kind of topics, If arguments erupt it spoils the community, and we rarely have them here.

Timstone: I noticed you edited your original message I dread to think what my favourite Dutchman said that he had to edit...

Whatever man, I'm really not interested in arguing over it. Let's just say that I don't prescribe to the "Don't say anything or you might offend someone" level of PC behavior and call it a day. I'd much rather talk about SE.

We have people with some disabilities, does it mean that I can't say anything about my health condition?

Somebody can have problems with weight, so no conversations about fat food?

etc etc etc

Man, that beats everything...

Actually it was the fact he completely mixed up two different conditions, as Narf pointed out below. This all started with the media wrongly using the word and you'd be suprised how many people make the same mistake, which can cause hell I can tell you, Ignorance breeds Ignorance. Try and tell someone you're schizophrenic and too many think you are some "crazy person" who has multiple personalities.

In Other words, discuss it all you like, but please if you want to use somewhat inappropriate references get them correct at least!

But lets not hijack the thread too much.

Fyron: "An Historian" I think is correct, it's one of those words I think, at least I do when speaking.
