| I posted to this forum yesterday. Since the I have been called a fraud. I
have been called a liar. I have been accused of seeking donations. It has
been said that I have no right to have Don Quixote as a hero. It has been
said that my web site, listed below, is all about trying to get PITY for me.
And I've been attacked left and right. All this has happened coming from
people who I presume are mentally ill in one way or another since this forum
deals with mental illness.
This is very depressing since I am doing nothing other than running an
online support group for us, the mentally ill. I do NOT seek donations. I do
NOT seek anyone to do my work for me. I do NOT, and have NOT put my web site
up in order to seek PITY from others. I have NOT posted here in order to
INSULT anyone or to DEGRADE the mentally ill.
These ATTACKS by others, which are here in this forum under the heading of
"The Moon List" are attacks against me, a person who is mentally ill. And
when they attack me, they attack ALL people who are mentally ill. For I am
one of millions in the world, and in the United States who suffer from
mental illness. Every single hour of every single day, in the United States,
according to the National Institute of Mental Health, over 100 suicides are
attempted, with 5 being successful. So that means that every single hour,
people are taking their own lives. The people who have attacked me so meanly
have achieved one thing. They have thrown me into a depression which I
suffer from. They have made my self esteem sink lower than it already is.
And these people who have attacked me have done so in order to make
themselves feel good. NO ONE made these people do this to me. They have had
the choice to either be KIND, or to be CRUEL. And they have chosen, ON THEIR
OWN to be CRUEL... and this says a lot about them, and a lot about the
people of this forum.
I have heard from several people who have said the alt groups are mean,
cruel and filled with hate and liars. I did not want to believe them. But
after the reception I have had here I can see why these people have said
this to me.
The truth of the matter is the following.
My name is Mickey Maschke. I am disabled with mental illness. I suffer from
Schizophrenia, Depression, Anxiety, Paranoia, Agoraphobia, Acrophobia, and
PTSD, and Chronic Pain from a spinal injury. My web site, listed below, is
NOT about me. There is a page on the web site that talks about my life and
what I have gone through. But that is only there for background and nothing
more. The page about Don Quixote is there because he is my hero, and I am
entitled to have as my hero anyone I choose to. For those disgusting people
who have attacked me for NO VALID reason, they are showing themselves to be
vicious, cruel and disgusting people and people who believe that it is
better to KILL ALL the mentally ill than to show any compassion to us at
all. I DO NOT LIE... I tell the truth. And everything that I have posted to
this forum has been the truth, about me as well as about the support group
that I am part of and that I moderate. The people who have attacked me did
so with the intention of DRIVING ME OFF the forum and to KEEP me out of the
forum. These people do NOT want anyone in this forum unless THEY decide that
the person should be allowed here. These forums are PUBLIC forums. These
people have NO right to push others around. And I shall not be pushed around
by them, NO MATTER WHAT.
I have been beaten with crow bars for being mentally ill. I have had a gun
put to my head and heard it cocked for being mentally ill. I have been
homeless at one time. And I have SURVIVED all of this... Thus, as these
hateful people have attacked me and will ATTACK me now, I shall not be
pushed around by them. NOT NOW, NOT EVER...
I am posting this message here for those who feel like I do... that NO
mentally ill person should be abused. These people who attacked me did NOT
read what I wrote. For in the support group that I moderate the ONLY rule is
to be KIND... and these people who have attacked me are NOT KIND... they are
NOT KIND when they are attacking someone. ATTACK is not a gesture of
KINDNESS it is a gesture of CRUELTY... regardless of what these people want
to say.
I shall continue to post here and be a part of this forum, regardless of
these people who are doing WHATEVER they can to DRIVE ME OUT... I have the
same right to be here as they do. The SAME RIGHT....
If anyone has anything to say to me, my email is mickeymaschke@adelphia.net.
And I look forward to hearing from anyone, INCLUDING THOSE WHO HAVE HATE FOR
ME AND WHO WANT TO DRIVE ME AWAY FROM THIS FORUM. I will answer any email
regardless of the hate that someone directs at me. If someone wants to know
the TRUTH about me and my efforts, the place to find that TRUTH is NOT from
those who are ATTACKING me, but from ME. I am the ONLY person who KNOWS my
mind and what I am about... These other people know NOTHING... and they are
attacking me because they are MEAN and CRUEL when they could be KIND... and
they are ACTIVELY CHOOSING to be CRUEL instead.
I wish you ALL well, INCLUDING those who have HATE only for me.
