If you did not read my original posts, which I edited after realizing how defensive Bob is about this ball, then I apologize. Seriously.

Actually Scott.. I, like many countless others have experienced Mental illness with loved ones. It is not just you. Saying "out of their mind" in reference to "haters" is in no way showing a lack of empathy or respect for those who struggle through mental illness every day. You have no idea what I have been through in this arena, so before you accuse someone of such a thing, I would think twice or at least know the situation. Could I have been more tasteful... PC...sure.. I guess... but I think your statement is absurd, careless and insulting. If I offended anyone, I am sorry.
