So you are saying a mentally ill person has to "earn" your respect? Man...
You guys keep pointing out one persons posting flaws but sometimes a certain type of person helps to point out ours. I'm not particularly religious but I keep thinking of that quote from Matthew: "how you treat the least of your brothers...".
And it is a participation forum so... yes, medals for all who do so. I did not read the part in the TOS that tells how you should do that other than to show respect and not be a jerk.
