I didn't realize this is what you do for a living -- my hat is off to you. As someone
with a panic/anxiety disorder and an acute tendency towards agoraphobia, I realize it must be as difficult for those who try to help people who have this disorder, as it is for the people who actually have it.
I also give you credit for trying to stick up for Markolas and being concerned about his feelings, though I'm certain Sparky didn't have any ill intent with this particular comment. I imagine you're just more sensitive to the issue of mental illness than the average person, and I find it respectable when someone shows some empathy and consideration and tries to stick up for those who can't always stick up for themselves.
