Yeah, it wasn't the crazy part that bothered me. It was the dismissive, condescending, passive aggressive tone while acting as if it's purely out of compassion.

Plenty of people would choose not to engage this Byrne character based on statements he's made. Some might openly call him nuts and maybe someone else might think they're jerks for saying so instead of just leaving it alone. But at least own it instead of being insulting while pretending to care, as if that part excuses the insult. Personally, I think hearing what someone else has to say and then responding with, "you're clearly mentally ill, I hope you get the help you need" is such a shitty way to treat someone.
