My admittedly sketchy information is that Brad suffers from a mild but profound form of schizophrenia not too dissimilar in external manifestation from that suffered by John Nash of Nobel Prize and A Beautful Mind fame. His ability to express himself clearly varies over time, but over the past 12 months I believe I have noticed a trend toward improved clarity as measured by ability to stay on topic, fewer run on sentences, fewer drawing connections between random unrelated concepts, diminished stream of consciousness style, and so forth. Strangely enough, this has happened concurrently with increased earnestness, impatience and insistence.
Moose has been kind enough to follow my lead on this without objection. My feeling is that Brad finds on-line forums to be a beneficial outlet for his need to express himself, and he hasn't so far proven a disruptive presence. In fact, I find his steady improvement heartening. Anyway, please feel free to engage Brad in any way you please as long as you follow the forum guidelines. In fact, if Brad is willing, it would be a fascinating thread to discuss Brad's "issues" with him, and maybe he can confirm whether my admittedly third-hand diagnostic information is correct. I don't want to invade Brad's privacy, but maybe he'd find it interesting, too. Brad?
