    Funny - in your other post on the child support board, you mention that you will ensure that your ex never gets more than £5 per week out of you - implying that you have no intention of ever getting your life back and getting back to work, but remaining on benefits the rest of your children's young years. Good luck with that! Why someone would want to remain on benefits and have nothing to ensure that their children aren't provided for........hmmmmm

    If there is a possibility of genuine mental health problems to include psychosis - and we can't know for sure - posts designed to deliberately aggravate such OPs could be downright dangerous.

    Then maybe the OP needs to think about what he writes in other threads?
    Gone ... or have I?

    You entirely miss my point. If - as the OP states - he is suffering from psychotic mental illness, then his posts would be completely symptomatic of his illness. Psychotic people are very likely to be inconsistent and to have paranoid and incorrect views about what is going on their lives. The type of abuse and mockery that we see here could very easily tip a psychotic person into behaviour dangerous to both himself or others.

    It may be that the OP is a troll, a dreadful person, a scrounger or any number of other things. However, it may also be as he has said: the OP has a psychotic mental illness and his posts here are symptomatic of it.

    It matters not whether only 1 person in 100 hereabouts who posts like this is genuinely ill. Provocative and abusive posts directed in this way have the potential to be extremely dangerous.

    Forum members have the option to ignore (refuse to offer advice to) or report posts. What is the need to do otherwise?
