[FoRK] Please Help

Well I don't really know what's going on here; and I'm not really part
of this group anyway, (or following the discussion) so i don't know if
this is a joke, or something (it seems that way) but it does seem like
a place where everyone is implied to be friends by association, a bit
more respect maybe is due. *shrug*. I'm probably out of line. But
claiming pyschological disorder isn't very conducive to an interesting
argument or resolution on the matter.
