Plenty of members here disappear for a week/month/year for a plethora of different reasons. If the general collective were to get concerned about anyone and everyone who disappears off the forum for a bit, there's going to be a lot of worry to go around. I rather meant that Concern would trump having a dig if no one turned up as planned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Foxhake Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Why should we be concerned?

If Mr Morris wants to show more concern for a shiter (with known health issues) than you're clearly capable of, he's entitled to do so. Thanks for calling.

Arthur Foxhake Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I'm glad you can speak for "Mr Morris". I speak for myself when I say, I'd rather Mr Railton replied to his own thread, with his own retorts, as I'm sure he will, in due time. Nice of you to pop up and speak for the masses tho.

anonymous user Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Possibly he changed his mind and deleted it. If anyone does know the chap in real life, then a check in on him might be a good idea.

Whilst I stand by the comments I made, I did consider them to be marginally insensitive, hence removed the post. Quite quickly actually, I'm amazed it's been quoted, but that's the risk you take when posting before thinking about it properly. Given the fairly shitty attitude from the person in question, and the fact that a lot of his health issues are self-inflicted (by his own admission), I cannot feel as concerned for him as some others may be able to. That's just me. YMMV. BorniteIdentity, Supernaut, red5 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He chooses not to medicate and says he's in total control and habitually drives stoned/drunk.

Assuming that was aimed (even partially) at me; actually, I have very personal knowledge and appreciation of bipolar disorder, how destructive it can be, how to manage it and the fact that it can be pushed completely into remission with the right medication and support. 59 minutes ago, captain_70s said: He chooses not to medicate and says he's in total control and habitually drives stoned/drunk.
