Of course.
But the guidelines state not to make assumptions about mental state without corroboration.
I think that 18-20 posts before me laughing about institutions, psych evals, throwing him in a sort of cage fight with other violent air passengers for entertainment value, etc. had already trampled on that territory, so my ‘assumptions’ riffed on the possibility that all the other commentors were possibly correct in their assumptions about his mental state. Ergo suggesting that, if everyone is in agreement that this is a mental health issue, it may not be ok to broadcast his image and make him a laughing stock.
Honestly, after the all the bullying taking place on this thread, I can understand why someone would want to put as much distance from their own mental state and this man’s behavior. But, that doesn’t make this man’s situation moral instead of heath. And the mirth expressed by dozens of posts suggesting that whatever pain the man is in right now is hilarious and only what he had coming is discriminatory.
I’m hurt and annoyed by having my post removed when all the bullying and mocking posts are left up, and I know it’s stupid and futile to question mod decisions, but since there were only like 2 or 3 posts total that weren’t giddy at the pile on, I brought it up. Bummer all around.
