Greg Bernhardt: A Thank You From DrWho

  • Thread starter DrWho
  • Start date
In summary, the speaker, Greg, reconnects with someone who was an admin on a forum years ago. He thanks them for treating him with respect during a difficult time when he was going through a psychotic episode. He also mentions that he is still interested in science and has found similarities between his ideas during his episode and philosophical and logical paradoxes. He attributes his change in perspective to medication.

I remember you, but I'm not sure if you remember me, Greg.
It was years back and the forum you were an admin on was much different than this. It looked much like www.physics-forums.com[/URL] actually, except there were actually people there. Anyway, are you still here and is this your new site? I just wanted to tell you how much of a difference you made to me back then, I was going through hard times and having a psychotic episode. Everyone was mad at you for putting me up on the mentor/moderator level on the theoretical physics forum because my ideas were obviously insane. Your one of the few people who ever treated me with respect when I was psychotic. It is obviously hard when people treat you like your doing something wrong when your delusional. I was not very popuar back then. I just wanted to tell you how I am doing and thank you for your support back then. I'm still interested in science, and have found some of the ideas I was ranting about in my psychotic episodes are similar to philisophical and logical paradoxes people have been considering for ages. I'm still interested in them, and unexplained phenomina now, but I look at it all from a much more grounded perspective. I think it has something to do with my medication. :)
Sorry about the typos,
DrWho
