		pclark on Aug 5, 2009 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: An open letter to Sam Sethi entertaining is one word for it. I think its ridiculous, and really offensive. Sam is a human being - and people are tearing him apart all over the internet - who cares if he deserves it, is disgusting. I don't believe writing public letters about how he has mental health issues helps the issue. think of the consequences if he did less scene more startups. gets off soapbox

Yeah, they shouldn't be saying he's schizophrenic (or even mentally ill). I bet few of them know what that even means or what damage it can cause.

But, if they want to say he's a douchebag and, importantly, they have proof, well.. that's fair game.
