I also haven't seen the post on this forum where Blackhawk was asking for handouts. Could someone link those please? They shouldn't be hard to find since everybody seems to have this figured out already.

And, for the record, I wasn't defending Blackhawk personally. I don't know him, and I told him as much in a private message. If you had ever had someone close to you with a mental disability, and I pray you never do, then it probably wouldn't be so difficult for you to understand my reaction.


First, a stroke is not a mental disability.
Second, I never called him any name. I said he was whining and I thought he was on drugs. I never called him a name. However, I was called a dick be several people and a bunch of names by him.


Mental disorder, mental illness, mentally handicapped......whatever you want to call it. That's not really the point. I don't think anyone would argue that most stroke victims are mentally handicapped in some way.

I never said you called him a name, and I may or may not have called you a dick (can't remember and really don't care to go back and look because after this post I'm done with this garbage). I don't really have a problem with someone questioning the validity of a person's claim to be handicapped, if you don't believe that to be the case. I'm not sure why you felt like you had enough information to take that position or why you would do it on a public forum like this knowing, as I'm sure you do, what kind of effect those remarks could have on someone who is truly struggling with a disability. But, nevertheless, it's a public forum and you can say what you want. If I called you a dick then I apologize, I was pretty pissed at that point and I shouldn't have lumped you in with the others.
