Die, Norman! Die!
Norman asks: why should I bother to learn from people who either ignore my questions, avoid them, or react to me in such a way that upsets me? Rand replies: You can't. Cat turds would learn from input more readily than you would. If comprehension was oxygen you would have been dead long before the earliest iteration of the internet.

GB Shaw Shares Your Pain
1) Martyrdom is the only way a man can become famous without ability.
2) Perhaps more appropriate for those who have lost the power of thought, but not that of speech -
How can you dare teach a man to read until you've taught him everything else first?
3) No question is so difficult to answer as that which the answer is obvious.
4) The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.
5) A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
Of course too, in present context - even our John Dewey grokked to fullness the folly of explaining to either the average or The Norm:
Language exists only when it is listened to as well as spoken. The hearer is an indispensable partner.

No thanks
at one point of my life a year or so ago I might have granted your request and died (IE kill myself) but I am not the same way I was before. The fact that you would say that to someone who has had sucicial thoughts in the past, proves your character flaws. I learned not to value or trust what certain people say, and you are one of them.
Despite what you are saying about me, in a different environment I have a 3.88 GPA and am being taught by certified instructors and not some semi-anonymous source on the Internet who does not have a very good thought on me, and doesn't like me anyway.

If your "smarts"...
...were measured as GPA you wouldn't quite be faring as well. "Smarts" would have dictated that you NOT INVOLVE YOURSELF IN THIS THREAD. Being true to your stated word... I learned not to value or trust what certain people say, and you are one of them. would have dictated that you NOT INVOLVE YOURSELF IN THIS THREAD. So, value or not...trust or not...if you intend on practicing what you preach...stop responding to this stuff...and stop including personal information that has no bearing. To the educated reader, all you >attempted< to do was make the original poster "feel bad" for his choice of language. LARGE CLUE BY 4 APPLICATION FOLLOWS: He's not likely to give a damn.

All I attempted to do
was make myself feel better by replying to him. I know he doesn't give a damn, he never did. Just speaking up to him made me feel a whole lot better. I know I shouldn't involve myself in flame threads, but I do need to learn to stick up for myself as nobody else will. Even if I do stick up for myself and nobody gives a damn, at least I feel better telling someone off, even if it does fall of deaf ears. :)

Re: Die, Norman! Die!
It's the drugs. He wasn't always this way. He used to be a genial nerd, like many of us.

You may have a point
When next I see my doctor, I will ask if he can change them to something different. See if it has better results.

Re: You may have a point
You should seriously consider very mild ECT. There is an excellent, physical reason it works - it unclogs the synapses.
