Going by your citation it's a perfectly reasonable diagnosis.

Strange comment. I don't see my life as particularly perfect: I do have some physical advantages, very true, but the psychological ones are a different matter. I personally would not make such assumptions about someone I didn't know on the internet, and I would extend such an invitation to yourself.

That is indeed true, I have met one such person and I thought he was inebriated, turns out he had, I think, a tumour or was recovering from a stroke.

I dare say that's for the best. That is not meant to sound heartless, it's purely a statement of fact.

People should have a thicker skin, especially on the internet. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are far more lethal in their commentary than the Debian forums . Having said that, I have mentioned in a previous topic that I acknowledge the harm that can be caused by such comments.
