I just felt like you shouldn't be belittling RyanM by compartmentalizing what he's doing and saying how we shouldn't "spend more and more energy" on him. Looking back, I guess I agree with what you're conveying... but (as I alluded to then) I can't help feeling like he's just "one of us," and that it's a crime to say any time spent on him is wasted.
I feel there is a point beyond reasonable doubt that what I'm saying is correct due to one very particular factor: the content of RyanM's most recent posts. None have been constructive responses to anyone, and for the most part, is just a log of how decrepit he is willingfully making his brain.
It irks me to see the kid in trouble,too - read a post I made a few pages back to him, kind of a long blurb about helping himself out. But by this point, I fully feel that the attention and concern from board members is all this guy really wants from his laundry-list postings of new stimulant drugs he now has access to, and just
how often to fry his brain with MDMA?
In my opinion, humble as it may be, I decide to leave him alone. perhaps the incessant need for attention will go away, and so will his excessive drug use, because he no longer gets attention from them.
I'm sorry if im over psycho-analyzing the guy, I come from a line of Psychologists, but from studying the frenatic and often braggart statements he makes here, I cannot honestly say that I feel like helping him - that by not helping him, he will help himself. Ya Dig?
There will always be people who will say 'RyanM please stop doing this, it is so terrible for your brain! and thats fine. My personal stance is to just end the whole empathy and help the guy out a different way. We're all a community, we want to protect each other - you'd think you'd want to replace a failing plan, wouldnt you?
Eh, my sentiments.
Carry on with your merriments.
