[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am one of the posters who called a post hysterical (the one about our hospitals quickly becoming overwhelmed).

It seems that others are using hysterical in the medical sense.  Hysteria (or female hysteria) hasn't been a medical diagnosis in 50 years.

[b]I'm not accusing anyone of mental illness[/b], I'm accusing some people of getting carried away and coming close to unreasonable panic.[/quote]

They know that.  It's just easier for them to argue by creating straw men.[/quote]

Actually, no.  She was accusing them of mental illness.  Then she got called on it and changed her story.

Please provide a quote indicating where anyone accused anyone of "mental illness".  [/quote]

Hysteria is a mental illness.  PP claims that's not what she meant, and she only meant it in the most watered down version of the term, but the rest of the rhetoric belies that.  Also, the many references to people who are concerned about this disease spreading being "wingnuts" (which obviously means crazy) and needing tin foil hats obviously shows the intent.  The intent is to marginalize and gaslight, to quelch disagreement, rather than to dispute it based on the merits.  [/quote]
