raped and pstd are 2 different things.. you get pstd from being in combat

You can get PTSD from other things too, but i think she's just an idiot.

I myself suffer symptoms of ptsd, and i havent served.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may develop after a person is exposed to one or more traumatic events, such as sexual assault, warfare, serious injury, or threats of imminent death. The diagnosis may be given when a group of symptoms, such as disturbing recurring flashbacks, avoidance or numbing of memories of the event, and hyperarousal, continue for more than a month after the occurrence of a traumatic event

It is used as a common diagnosis of r*pe victims all the time. Even those who have never put on a uniform. If she is legit her battles may not have been armed combat, but could still leave severe problems and emotional scaring.

If you look at the timeline (disappearing after the post because the Hawks came back) it's totally fishy.

Not to mention the fact she didn't acknowledge her troll thread AT ALL. If she really did check into a hospital why even post here at all till she was better?

I have no sympathy for liars and my gut is telling me something isn't right here.

I won't harp on it too much in case there is more to the story than meets the eye but the facts just don't add up. Funny how she makes a post saying she won't be able to post much for awhile (right after getting bombarded for this thread). Just seems to me why even make a post at all on a sports forum if you really are struggling with mental health??

Anyways need to get that out of the system

Doobster is all about forgiveness but I don't like being lied to either. In this particular case, I strongly feel as if I'm being lied to.

trauma isn't isolated to combat experiences

r*pe victims oftentimes have ptsd

Wallace et al, I'm not going to judge whether or not she is telling any level of truth, but she has talked of her PTSD/MST in the past. This isn't something out of the blue.

You won't see me question her claimed service or stated disorders from it. It's not my place to judge or challenge her claims.

You will, however, see me still holding her actual words and deeds up here up to the light and hold her accountable for them. I don't care if you have cancer in real life or some other condition, at the end of the day we are all nothing more than the words we project up here and it is those we should be treated based on.

Leave the stuff about her personal life alone. But hammer the shit out of her rhetoric, arrogance, and condescending bullshit as hard as you like.

Just my 2c

Mostly agree. I believe she is FOS about a lot of things, and I'm almost certain this this is included. That said, on the remote chance she is telling the truth about her history and illness, I agree that any snark or other attacks regarding it are absolutely off limits. That's shit no one should have to deal with.

Any you really don't have to see combat to suffer from PTSD. Any sort of mental trauma can trigger it. Hell, I used to do disaster damage assessment for the Red Cross. After Katrina and Ike I came home all sorts of screwed up because of the things we saw. Took a couple months of therapy and a few weeks of sleep meds to get my head right again.

I don't think anyone here believes her story 100% (or 50%, or 10%), but some (including myself) are willing to wait awhile to see if she goes back to her same old crap.

I think at the end of the day, we all want to give her the benefit of the doubt, but our sense of logic & reasoning prevents us from doing so.

I really want to say it's no big deal and that I want to forgive MA, but I would feel like a complete fool if I did.

What I do love, however, is that every single poster has had a slightly different opinion on the matter. No two are exactly alike.

This is the stuff legends are made of. :lol:

My guess is she will go back to her same old crap whether or not her illness is real. They are not connected, or at least not necessarily.

This is why her story isn't particularly relevant. She may well have everything she says, but when she acts like a self absorbed know it all pompous jackass she deserves the backlash it demands anyway. Her baggage doesn't add or take away from that.

The guy is officially the Buckner of the Packers. McCarthy tore into him like he was going to beat him with this clipboard after that play. Wonder if their fans will ever get over him doing that or is his days automatically over in GB.

I'm honestly quite surprised we're still creating new topics about that jackass! Sure, keep posting on this one but i'm pretty sure I found over 4 recent threads about MA.
