I have over the past week been accused, by one of the regulars here of being heatless and lacking in compassion. This could not be further from the truth . I care very much that the unfit and unsound should be intergrated into society and that they should not be condemed or made to feel uneasy about their disability.
For that reason I would like to start the Bring Back Gooners Campaign
Ok , he didnt appeal to everyone and sometimes he was obviously experiencing some sort of mental health problems, but basicaly he was harmless and in need of care. Should we realy have turned our back on him as we did. Its cold out there and he will be suffering now!!
Show that the SH community cares BRING BACK GOONERS!!!
Sod all that" Care In Community" lark!!
I would like to offer an alternative to your BBG, in the form of BOG (Bugger Off Gooners)
he should be condemed to the home for the permenantly bewildered, all sharp instruments put on a high shelf out of his reach, and call for him to be permenantly ostracized from this community.
BOG!!!
LETS NOT HAVE A POLL LETS HAVE AN ADULT GROWN UP DEBATE FOR A CHANGE LIKE MOST FORUMS DO
I can only echo what other people have said - I got the sense that Gooners was here solely to wind people up and get a reaction. Now, anyone who finds fun in winding people up clearly does have mental health problems, but I don't believe you can help people like that unless they want to be helped; not through the Internet at any rate. If you're there in person and able to look them in the eye, then maybe, but in my experience trying to connect with them in a forum or newsgroup or PM or email is an impossibility, because nothing about the person is genuine.
Gooners will probably look upon him being banned as another notch in his bedpost - I seriously doubt this is the first forum he was banned from, and if he doesn't return here he'll go somewhere else and engineer getting himself banned from there too.
That's a bit below the belt Venus..................funny though!
