If saying 'you're either f****d up from drugs or need to be on medication' is nasty, then yes, that was being nasty.


That's what happens when you cherry pick quotes out of context. How about including the rest of my post, which said,

"I have no idea what you're on about.

That's not negative, btw, I am completely neutral at this point in time."

I also specifically DIDN'T say anyone was f****d up or needed medication. What I actually said was, if they were already on medication they might need to consider changing the dose, but I couldn't tell in which direction. My (hopefully humourous, but possibly not) point being that the whole thread wasn't making a lot of sense to me. [I didn't specifically mention this - my bad - but as it happens I'm also not a Doctor and so wouldn't wish to give out serious medical advice anyway.]

Having said all that I'm an Aspie, so a lot of stuff doesn't make sense to me. It could be that the entire thread was constructed out of quotes from a movie or movies I've never seen, for example. So it was also an opportunity to post an explanation that didn't revolve around meds, but none was forthcoming. :roll:

P.S. edited to say, furthermore it was also an attempt to lighten the mood. Because the closest movie I could think of was Gran Torino, and that doesn't entirely end well for the lead character.


I think you are over-reacting.

Nah, just explaining, because I feel I've been misunderstood (and selectively misquoted).

I'm not going to take it to heart, 'cos I know what I meant the first time.

I can't get too precious about medication when I've been on a fair old cocktail meself over the years. From that point of view I thought it was an "in joke" with the possibility of more serious debate if anyone wanted. But if not, ah well :-)

A reminder of The Haven's rules: viewtopic.php?t=297515#p8619172 - with an emphasis on going off-topic and thread-jacking.
