What's your point? Do you have one? Do you feel I was maligning
people with mental disorders? That I was picking on you?

No.

The point I had is that, especially with the way the article is
written, people could quite easily draw the conclusion that the guy
is not just a furry with problems, he's a furry BECAUSE of his
problems.

And I really don't think that's a step up for the fandom. Do you?

You're probably right.
