Nothing is more irksome than the trend in public discussions to tell others to "shut up" if they haven't specifically experienced something.
This is a public forum. We're discussing a publicly posted article. The OP brought to the table a valid point. Let them talk.
- yabatopia 9y agoI'll always remember a quote from a cancer researcher/professor on tv: "You don't have to be an elephant to talk about elephants." Sadly I don't have an elephant's brain so I don't remember the professor's name.
- selectodude 9y agoA lot of depressed people who have been able to pull themselves out of the hole can be pretty touchy about stuff like being told to exercise. OP was maybe a bit more aggressive than he needed to be, but it can be a pretty raw feeling, and mental illness has such a stigma.
