Idleweiss Posted July 30 Author Share Posted July 30 2 hours ago, The Phantom said: I once banned a girl from a place I am a Director at for stalking/psychotic behaviour towards a staff member. I'm surprised she didn't escalate it to be honest, lucky for all involved really. Did you think about going on social media or going to 3fm with a press release that said “local business bans stalker mental case from the premises to safeguard offended staff. The police have been informed and CCTV images have been shared!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 The phrase “mentally unwell” should not be bandied about lightly or imprecisely (DSM-5-TR runs to well over 1,000 pages) and it is definitely an overused term on here. Nonetheless, I can say with little fear of contradiction that there is some evidence of it on this very thread. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called her bluff and she didn't. I might have been tempted to out her on the Company webpage/press if she had though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're obsessing, you’re wrong, get over it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt they would have been suffering from actual psychosis (hallucinations etc). It’s a term many use as a blanket term for a range of mental health issues.

Ringy Rose Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Being a twat isn’t a mental health problem. This applies to Cuey/Port Soderick/Radiolister/Edelwiss/et al and it applies to racist people who get all racist in a petrol station. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I remember when pubs had a scheme going and if anyone had misbehaved or was banned by law their picture was displayed in all participating public houses and they did not get served. Also shoplifters are often banned from shops that they have targeted it is quite a complicated really. Airways ban people from flying with their Company if they have misbehaved and so on.

I’d rather be called twat than be a smug supercilious mental bitch like you. Another grifting public servant who fills their day posting shit on a local forum rather than working for a living.
