Perhaps you should consider writing your ridiculous posts here and then hitting the delete button as you said you would do with your imaginary ethical paper? Why is it okay to inflict your crap on us all the time?
ETA: She'll disappear for a little while to let everything settle down here but she'll be back. She always comes back. didn't you just post that your daughter has been diagnosed with BPD i hope she gets more support and understanding from you then you show here Yes I did and thanks for the insult. If my daughter behaved like Elannah I would have a problem with it as well.
Thanks for being an a$$hole. Onto ignore you go.
ETA: my a$$hole comment also extends to the people who liked what the OP said to me. It's always the same people.

Right back atcha' sweetie. Speaking of a hypocrite...it's really hard to feel bad for someone who constantly hand slaps people for the very same things she does.

I don't know what she said to you christine58, but this makes my heart hurt for you... Thanks...it was pretty nasty. And I can handle crap tossed my way but don't be nasty about my mom and her cancer--which is GONE by the way How wonderful for your mom!

"You have no right to tell her to get off the internet. Nor does the fact that she doesn't justify ugly comments to her. If you actually work with bi-polar people, I'm surprised you have so little compassion. Don't like what she says, ignore her; especially if you know she's bi-polar" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have just as much a right as anyone. Just as much a right as you do in telling people things, and making comments on here. What gives YOU the right? Working with bipolar people, trust me. I've seen MUCH worse, and yes you become desensitized to it. She needs help. Just like I can ignore her, you can ignore those that don't agree with you on this subject. It's been noted also, it's hard to ignore all the posts she does in her manic stage.

"What mental illness do you have? Because if you have one I will give you an excuse for every bullying, inappropriate, callous, insensitive, spontaneous, unconsidered thought you want to drop."
Because that is mental illness. You can't say I understand mental illness and then say you aren't going to excuse anything involved with mental illness. That, by definition, means you don't understand mental illness.
Everyone here has been really positive about my post, which surprised me. I fully expected to return to this thread and be roasted. Thank you everyone, for hearing me and being so kind.
Mental illness, by definition, means saying shit that is controversial, stupid, etc. That is what mental illness makes you do. So to say, yeah, she is mentally ill, I have compassion for that, but I don't have compassion for saying stupid shit... No, you don't have compassion for mental illness at all. That means you have compassion for mentally ill people as long as they don't act mentally ill. That is not the way it works...
Again, I thank the people that have been so kind. Being mentally ill is a pain in the ass. I don't choose it- it is annoying and tiring. I haven't had a symptom in years and still it sits in the back of my mind, ready to bite me in the ass.
I admit, I read posts by people that are mentally ill, and roll my eyes. But that tells you how difficult situation it is. I'm mentally ill (although fortunately treated so I act like the rest of you) and I forget how difficult it is to be in the middle of it. I can understand how people that have never touched it have very little patience for it.

This is the first I've heard of her disorder, and I'm a daily reader. You can't assume every responder knows. I had no idea, either.

i wasn't looking to insult you but just highlight the hypocrisy where you are acting badly toward someone you don't know with a mental illness yet seek help with mental illness in your own backyard. in terms of insults you need look no further then you calling elannahs posts ridiculous and then calling people assholes nobody said you had to like elannahs posts but how you respond to them defines YOU not her.

In three words...because they can. Only here do you find people berating a person with known mental illness. While I understand their frustration with Elannah's posts, mental illness has never stopped the peas from piling on. Well, lots of us have mental illnesses... I'm going to use mine as an excuse for every hurtful, bullying, inappropriate, callous, insensitive, spontaneous, unconsidered thought bomb I want to drop... I suffer from depression, which my meds have under control. Not everyone is lucky enough to find a combination that works and keeps working.

First, I think ALL people are entitled to quality health care. Second some quotes that have nothing to do with the OP's topic. "You need to learn not to post every one of your thoughts." scrappinmama"I usually don't interact with you because I find you to be a clueless moron most days." @dknitter "Seriously? Are you high or something? Delusional?" mom"Just because you think something doesn't mean you need to share it here on 2P," cindyupnorth"Ellanah is a grown adult and she should know that she really shouldn't have Internet access at all" @yubon Peatlejuice "Personally I'v wondered for a while if the OP has Munchauser Syndrome and if it the message board isn't making it worse." @justtrica "Why is it OKay to inflict your crap on us all the time?" foolana"Her mental illness claims are bullshit. She uses it as an excuse every time on of her threads go south." @yubon Peatlejuice And folks don't like to participate on political threads because of the name calling.... When I read threads like this I liken them to the saying "once blood is in the water sharks attack". And not very flattering for the posters. I don't pay much attention to Ellanah nor do I know if she has mental problems because it's none of my business to be honest. What I can't understand is why this thread is 5 pages with very little discussion about her musings. If you don't like reading Ellanah's posts then why are you reading this thread ? Do you know that if no one had posted on the thread it would have disappeared by now. Or do some of you just like to pile on as ~Lauren~ says because you can? And as to the comments of what she shouldn't post that really caught my attention. Sometimes I scroll down the board and look at the titles and I have to shake my head thinking why. But that stays with me and I ignore the thread. Easy peasy. And the only reason I'm posting is because of the quotes above and felt something should be said. To me it's a form of bullying. 3. What this all means is I agree with ~Lauren~ and I find that rather odd.

"What mental illness do you have? Because if you have one I will give you an excuse for every bullying, inappropriate, callous, insensitive, spontaneous, unconsidered thought you want to drop." Because that is mental illness. You can't say I understand mental illness and then say you aren't going to excuse anything involved with mental illness. That, by definition, means you don't understand mental illness. I can't tell from if you're asking me this or not (formatting thing, not a comment about you or the question)... I've shared some of issues before... I have depression with major depressive episodes, PTSD, and deal with anxiety and panic disorders... I don't keep track of who posts what, so I don't know who the OP is... In the past month or two, comments she's made struck me in a way that made me notice a pattern... I know she's mentioned her son and family, but I don't recall her ever sharing anything about her own mental health... I have nothing against her, and can't imagine I've written anything insulting her... I try very hard, when I disagree with someone, to differentiate between the dislike I have for their opinion versus how I see them/their value as a human... If I've said or suggested that I think she's a bad, mean, or unintelligent person, that is a mistake on my part and something I'd apologize for... I appreciate when people show me compassion when I'm struggling, and try to emulate that myself... But I also understand that when I say or do things that cross a line, that I'm going to get called on it... I'm calling her on what she's been posting recently... I never said she should be banned, that no one here likes her or wants to read what she has to say - I disagreed strongly with her choice to say what she did, I expressed my anger, and I put her on ignore so that there would be no further conflict between us... The alcoholic uncle doesn't get a free pass to be too touchy feely with the kids, the delusional patient doesn't get a free pass to spew hate speech... There are still limits...

I suffer from depression, which my meds have under control. Not everyone is lucky enough to find a combination that works and keeps working. I'm glad you have yours under control, and I hope the OP can find the same resolution/peace/good place too... I just don't understand the free pass she's given... This is the same group of women who were quite upset about the egg throwing incident in another post... That woman threw eggs in anger, later called to apologize and attempt to make things right, and explained that she had been under a lot of stress recently... A bunch of Peas questioned if she really was under stress, and what kind of stress would excuse that kind of behaviour, and made jokes about how crazy she must be... I'm not saying you were one of the ones doing that or even saw the thread, but the extension of compassion isn't exactly universal around here... I can have compassion for a person and their struggles without turning a blind eye to their hurtful behaviour and allowing it to continue... That's a thing.

Not that I need to defend myself at all, but Elannah wants the right to post anything she wants here but gets upset when we respond accordingly. Her claims of mental illness are just that, claims. This is an anonymous message board and she could be a 75 year old man from Australia; how do I know the difference? If you don't want responses to your posts, good or bad, don't post them. I get reamed here all the time by the usual suspects; since I'm disabled should I insist that people give me a pass too?
The answer to that is a resounding NO. If I put it out there, I have to be prepared to take it.

pjaye I think it's awesome you are a pediatric nurse. Two of my friends children had cancer and beat it. I know how appreciative the parents were of good nurses. So thank you. I also have two friends whose sons have Down Syndrome. They are amazing young men. They have had to endure more open heart surgeries and other procedures than I can count. Their lives matter just as much as mine and they give the best hugs.

krazyscrapper pretty much said it all and I have little to add other than, are we adults or are we children? If our children came home and said somebody said something mean or rude to them, we would not in a rational world tell our children to go in on attack but to walk away. Sticks and stones can break our bones but.... words can never hurt us. This childhood saying could apply very well here. I feel bad that the OP may have said things that were hurtful or upsetting to some other peas but it is easy to fix for the future, don't open any threads that have the offending posters name attached. If you do you are inviting trouble and that is not what we teach our children. Walk away from the thread and look for something more inviting/intersting. It amuses me to see how many pages there are - like moths to a flame. And other posts that are sharing about positive happenings in someone's life go virtually ghost town. What does that say? Clearly throwing insults or pointing fingers will not fix a single thing said here and I can't see how it can make anyone, on either side, or the "spectators", feel better. Just walk away and be the bigger person. I have much respect for those who are able to do that. Close the thread and find something that makes you smile. There is too much crap to deal with in the "real" world that I don't see why any of us invite more into our world when I think most come her for enjoyment and conversation.

She has posted multiple threads about falling, all the threads about her wrist injury, posts about her mental illness, several more about needing help coming to grips with her mom's illnesses (some that were very mean from her side), not being able to sleep so she can't function, etc, not to mention the posts where she just drops her illness into a response. In all the threads it has been suggested she seek help. All these threads have been over the last couple of months. That's an awful lot.

Bipolar or not, she is attention seeking. How is she more attention seeking than me, posting about clothes hangers? Aren't we all seeking responses to our posts? Sharlag, while I do sometimes shake my head at your posts I do not find you to be mentally and emotionally exhausting. You make me smile. That is the difference, in my ever so humble opinion.

For me, it's what type of attention that matters. She has started another thread, bringing up this subject. I could be wrong, of course. But her behavior seems to be attention in a negative way.

The answer to that is a resounding NO. If I put it out there, I have to be prepared to take it.
But what do you gain by making comments like " Why is it ok to inflict your crap on us all the time?" Does it make you feel better? Especially since you can ignore her? And that should be fairly simple because it's not like you are around her IRL. i have no bone to pick with you but I don't know but when I read comments like "If I put it out there I have to be prepared to take it" makes me think that this is the negative side of an anonymous message board. It would appear one is defensive before they even post their comments. I know you have your "usual suspects" but attacking them is not the answer IMO. It puts you on their childish level. Be better then them and either ignore them or find a way to tell them to go to hell. Nicely of course. Then you win.

That said, I agree with your comment about blocking... I have... It lets OP enjoy her experience here and let's me enjoy mine...

Speaking only for myself, if she came back to defend her initial statements it would have been an interesting debate, and if she came back to say she expressed herself poorly then I'd accept that and a discussion about ethics could go on...

This is not directed to any pea, just an observation. The OP's post was hurtful.
My daughter does not understand social skills. Her "sacrcasm" is usually rude. She doesn't understand the volume of her voice. So is it okay for me to tell people she has a developmental disorder so you need to accept how she acts? I think it is better to point out her "sacrcasm" is hurtful. When she is inside, the volume of her voice needs to decrease.
I don't see the need for a pile on, but I don't see the need to remain quiet.

First, I think ALL people are entitled to quality health care. Second some quotes that have nothing to do with the OP's topic. "You need to learn not to post every one of your thoughts." scrappinmama"I usually don't interact with you because I find you to be a clueless moron most days." @dknitter "Seriously? Are you high or something? Delusional?" mom"Just because you think something doesn't mean you need to share it here on 2P," cindyupnorth"Ellanah is a grown adult and she should know that she really shouldn't have Internet access at all" @yubon Peatlejuice "Personally I'v wondered for a while if the OP has Munchauser Syndrome and if it the message board isn't making it worse." @justtrica "Why is it OKay to inflict your crap on us all the time?" foolana"Her mental illness claims are bullshit. She uses it as an excuse every time on of her threads go south." @yubon Peatlejuice And folks don't like to participate on political threads because of the name calling.... When I read threads like this I liken them to the saying "once blood is in the water sharks attack". And not very flattering for the posters. I don't pay much attention to Ellanah nor do I know if she has mental problems because it's none of my business to be honest. What I can't understand is why this thread is 5 pages with very little discussion about her musings. If you don't like reading Ellanah's posts then why are you reading this thread ? Do you know that if no one had posted on the thread it would have disappeared by now. Or do some of you just like to pile on as ~Lauren~ says because you can? And as to the comments of what she shouldn't post that really caught my attention. Sometimes I scroll down the board and look at the titles and I have to shake my head thinking why. But that stays with me and I ignore the thread. Easy peasy. And the only reason I'm posting is because of the quotes above and felt something should be said. To me it's a form of bullying. 3. What this all means is I agree with ~Lauren~ and I find that rather odd. Not that I need to defend myself at all, but Elannah wants the right to post anything she wants here but gets upset when we respond accordingly. Her claims of mental illness are just that, claims. This is an anonymous message board and she could be a 75 year old man from Australia; how do I know the difference? If you don't want responses to your posts, good or bad, don't post them. I get reamed here all the time by the usual suspects; since I'm disabled should I insist that people give me a pass too?
The answer to that is a resounding NO. If I put it out there, I have to be prepared to take it.
I'm not sure why we are expected to believe that she is bi polar because she says she is. There are many things she says she is that is and has been conflicting. She even said in this thread that she works in medical payments when we all "know" from her other posts that she works in retail. Apparently we are supposed to blindly believe some of her claims that excuse her various behaviors, even though we know she is not always truthful and says things for greatest impact.

Why are so many of you beating up on a person we already know is dealing with mental health issues? She is entitled to post her opinions and you are entitled to ignore her or put her on ignore. Please stop it. I'm certain she has enough people judging her in real life. In three words...because they can. Only here do you find people berating a person with known mental illness. While I understand their frustration with Elannah's posts, mental illness has never stopped the peas from piling on. Is it just me or does this hit a nerve with some of you too? If Ellannah herself got cancer and needed chemo should she be able to get it seeing as how she suffers with a mental illness?
