The above topic is probably what drove him to the brink.



Unban him!!! If he can get internet access he should be allowed to post under one of his established sn's. It's only right we let him defend himself.

Plenty of organizations exist to help him get cleaned up so I don't buy his complaint that no one will hire him because he stinks. Once he does get cleaned up, no one will hire him if he displays the whiny crybaby entitlement attitude. What he needs to do is become grateful and positive.


BC,

I generally try to be reserved and make my online persona match my in real life personality.

Having said that, were you standing in front of me right now I would say:

F**K off you heartless @sshole. Let's see how well you do when you come down with a mental disease ... say Alzheimer's. Hopefully those who care for you will have more compassion than you show towards Derrick, you asshat.

You are an embarrassment to Mormonism. I would suggest picking up the Book of Mormon and reading it a bit more carefully this time.

Unbelievable...

I agree that Darrick needs some medical help before he can contemplate a job situation. He looks pretty bad in that photo. I'm guessing that he has been off meds for quite a while.

It doesn't look as though the reporter from Willamette Week will be helping him to find that sort of care. He could be a good place to start in tracking Darrick down, though.

A board member in close proximity to Portland with a desire to help would be a very good thing.

Meanwhile, maybe we can come up with some funds to tide him over.


I live in Seattle -- 3 hours away. I've been in touch with other board members and we are seeing what we can do to help Derrick. If you want details, please PM me or email me at sethpayne@gmail.com

God forbid!! Let Shades and the mods take their own sweet time before they even consider that possibility.

Sorry ... wrote this before reading the full thread. I'm happy to go to Portland. Obviously someone who actually lives there would be ideal....

Anyway, email/pm me ....

Darricks problems are far beyond his board participation. Nothing on the board pushed him to the brink. He was beyond the brink long before his participation here.

Darrick has a chemical imbalance in his brain. Medications are the only way to control that. When he is off his medications he cannot control his interactions with people in general. His interactions with people here is just an indication of his problem.

It's best just to try and find some help for him rather than cast aspersions.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

My prayers are with Darrick. He is one among many of the 47% that need help. His illness is not of his own choosing, nor did he cozy up to the tea and coffee plants in the pre-existence.

To the watchers from the Strengthening the Members Committee:


See what the posters here are doing - that's what your masters should have done on a grander scale instead of providing an upmarket shopping mall.
Please 'clip and paste' this thread and show it to them.

All,

We have a call into the paper to see if we can get additional contact information. Also, I have the name of a contact in Portland who may be able to help.

Please contact me: sethpayne@gmail.com or via PM.
