Being critical is not being hateful. The fact is that a lot of online support groups get a weird mix of people - people who actually have the clinical diagnosis, people who feel they may be on the road to a diagnosis, people that want to imagine they would get the diagnosis, people who can't get the diagnosis but figure the system is aligned against them for whatever reason, friends/relatives of people with the diagnosis, etc. I always find it weird that some people "want" to have a chronic medical condition or be perceived as one who does - and I've met them. Hypochondriacs show up, that's a fact, Jack.
