mindset
Oh, Schmeky, I am so sorry to hear that you are down for so long with a pressure sore. I want to tell you that I am personally grateful for all your support over the years. You of all people should not be a subject of the "lazy butt" epithet.
I agree with you that calling others "lazy butt" is offensive. It provokes anger and divides the community into those who think that the name is being aimed at them and those that don't. Unfortunately, it has already driven some people, not just out of the discussion but away from CareCure. That is unacceptable. Nobody should be calling other people a "lazy butt" for complaining about the lack of progress in the field.
On the other hand, some of the naysaying is also offensive. For example, to claim repeatly that we have had no progress to people working hard for the cure is just as nasty as blaming the lack of progress on "lazy butts". To come to the Cure Forum and to say to people who are working their butts off for the cure that there will never be a cure is tantamount to making a personal attack on the aspiration of those people.
Wise.
