But the trouble with [censored] people is that somehow, for fear of offending them, they have been put in charge of their own treatment. They have been allowed to decide that they’re not mentally ill. They insist that the view of the world with which their psychosis has saddled them be affirmed and upheld at every turn. And at any suggestion otherwise, they mobilise a few thousand online Marxists to ruin the life of anyone tactless enough to disagree with their estimation of themselves. I can’t think of any other mental health condition where this approach is taken. If I think I’m Napoleon I am not provided with a palace, a throne, armies to command and a retinue of marshals. If I think I’m Admiral Nelson, nobody would propose surgery to remove one of my eyes and arms. The treatment would consist not of surgical mutilation to reinforce my psychosis; it would involve sympathetically getting me to face actual reality, with some drugs to calm me down. Why are they a special case? Who let this happen?
What a rambling mess of a self-indulgent rant masquerading as op-ed that was. I don't know what his point was other than "I wish I could say 'shut up you have BPD' to people in Twitter" with some disjointed tangent about t-slur mixed in.

The comment seems to have referenced the greentext but i still think there's original criticism in it too.

So long as Neo-Napoletan gets a thumbs up from their psychiatrist, I see nothing stopping the magnificent bastard.

Just because his thesis is 'I don't know' doesn't make it a ramble. I feel like I wouldn't score very well on this essay in high school, though.

Why is it that every time I get excited that someone interacted with me on the Interwebs, it's always you Autojannie?
