It's no surprise to you that many of the JREF posters are immature posers and not critical thinkers?

Wow, I just read this whole thread from start to finish.

Talk about the whole range of "forum emotion".

I'm really glad Brendy is finding his way and even though it wasn't him, that Make Your Own Kind of Music video was a fantastic way to spend six minutes.

Worse still, they seem completely convinced that they are helping and ignorant of the harm they do.

Not to mention completely selfish. They suggest the hallucinations are paranormal and if the person believes it they feel validated that their beliefs were right, and get to walk home with a smug look on their face...lording their superior knowledge over all the unfortunates still stumbling around in the dark. Their goal isn't to help the sufferer, the goal is to prove themselves right.
