Yeah, right, because in the group we call 'those suffering from mental illness' there are no evil, self-involved, twisted, dishonest, screwy, mean, stupid, nasty, smelly, or otherwise flawed beings
There are arseholes suffering from mental illness, just like there are arseholes in the church, the medical profession, primary school, and the government. There are arseholes everywhere, and grouping them with the nice people in this world, because they have something in common with them is not an insult. It's just not using the 'niceness' criterion for classification or generalisation.
