I'm not sure where Setzer is from, but here in America - they're just as likely to release him because of understaffing, no funds, the mother decided she could do this to her little boy, etc., etc. Lots of reason instead of because he's not a danger to himself or others. Did you miss the part where he thinks he's going to be Pope? Or reads significant messages in the colors of South Park? Or that Setzer was going to become a pokeman character? I imagine he does rely on people like Setzer, to kind to tell him to go away, to worried about offending him. And I agree, he probably doesn't have very many friends, if any at all. He needs help, more help than Setzer can provide. It doesn't sound like he's being hasty - maybe hasty for an Ent, but not for us humans. Any ways, I think he's done all he can here. I understand what you're saying, we're all a little crazy, but I really think this person needs professional help. And, yes, he needs friends, but he needs to get better. Since I don't know this person, I can't really say with any degree of certainty, but I'll trust Setzer with what he says, and if he's actually afraid of him, then it's cause for concern.
While there are generally a lot of stupid people, it's extremely rare for something like that to go overlooked. I still quite firmly believe that he was released because he wasn't believed to be a harm to others, or they determined that his psychological state wasn't much of an issue. Did you look up what eclectic paganism is? And how does that make him a dangerous individual? A bit silly with his analyzing of information, but still, religious beliefs should generally be tolerated. And he just said that Setzer was gonna meet a character, not that he was going to become one himself. A companion can do more for someone lost in the tumbling seas of one's own mind than you seem to think. I still don't see anything stating that he's done anything especially bad. If he needs mental help based on what I've read of, I'm pretty sure that I must too.
Yeah ive had a similar experience, This guy i met was completely cheerfull and nice like pinkie. I met him again the following month, he literally just got in my car and sat there. I was like can you please get out? He wanted to hang out so bad. (Because i was nice to him) but he was creeping me out. He was talking about suicide and *squee!*. It was only after like an hour sitting there talking to him that i convinced him to exit my vehicle. I also had some tylenol in my car, before leaving he asked for one, i was like sure. he took half of the bottle. i was like dude... Two months later i read that he ended up in jail, he stabbed someone, i think his mom. I mean *squee!*, that guy shoulda just popped those pills instead of hurting somebody else. Crazy assed people in this world.
I think if I went into further detail, you might understand more about why I think he is crazy. But I can't really be bother at the moment. I am fully willing to admit that I may be overreacting. Overall though I do not want to be he friend because anytime I spend with him is really hard to tolerate and a waste of time. His constant preaching I am not able to tolerate and we really have close to nothing in common as to how we want to spend our time and he is very demanding that things be his way. I have a very good very religious friend who I get along with great, he had only brought up his religion on rare occasions and when I made it clear to him I didn't want to hear it, he shut up about it and was able talk about stuff I was interested in without a problem. This crazy guy on the other hand, his religion is always the only thing on his mind and has to bring it up in every conversation or relate it to everything we do. Hence him linking his religion to Southpark and Pokemon. It might be cruel for me to not tolerate him especially if he has noone else to turn to and if he really isn't dangerous. But he is just too awkward to be around. I may not have enough of the element of Generosity. That might make me a selfish person. Anyway, I haven't seen him in a month, so hopefully I won't see him again.
Hmm, well, I can only speak of what I've observed. It could very well be that he's fine, his mother over reacted, some one nearby thought something worse was going on, etc. Didn't have to. My wife is an eclectic pagan. And maybe it's just me, but proclaiming yourself a future pope, colors in South Park, etc., etc., fits only the broadest definition of eclectic pagan. Oh? In that case, I mis-read, and I apologize for my error. No, I agree with what you're saying - what I'm saying - and this is up to Setzer, really - is that Setzer doesn't seem to be up to being a companion for this person. People with even minor mental problems, such as myself, can be a drain on friendship, and it takes a person with a special - um, fortitude, for lack of a better word off the top of my head - to handle them. Perhaps I shouldn't have spoke of this aspect, but it does seem like Setzer is saying he can't handle this person. Bad? As in dangerous? Really, I shouldn't have said anything on this point. It's hard to say from what another person is saying just how bad a person is. I think I kind of lost the point I was trying to make, which was that Setzer is uncomfortable with him, and he should try and get help in dealing with him. Is he dangerous? I don't know. I can't know, unless I meet and talk and spend time with this person. I don't mean to pronounce him mentally unfit to be with society, and I can see that I may have come across that way. For that, I am very sorry. And, in general, it's wrong for all of us to make pronouncements on some one we don't know. All we can do, is suggest to Setzer, based on what Setzer feels, what to do. He seems uncomfortable with this person, so he should do his best to avoid this person. To me, at least, he seemed to think he was in some kind of danger. But, again, I might be reading that wrong, or simply misunderstanding it. I think the main problem is that we saw a fellow brony in distress, and we all wanted to rush to his side. We tend to forget that every argument has two sides (at least), and that we were only hearing one side. Naikado, I commend you! You saw past the initial panic and worry over our dear Setzer, and looked at the root of the problem. And I apologize for my rashness. I'm older, I should have paused and looked a bit closer myself. Again, I commend you Naikado!
Of course, that's completely irritating. I wouldn't care if someone was crazy or what, if they were constantly preaching their religion in my face regardless of how much I tell them I don't want to hear it, I wouldn't tolerate them either. However, if he's in a poor mental state, I would probably try to let them down gently about it, or just right-out say that I wouldn't be willing to be their friend if they wouldn't stop with it. :S Of course, I'm a bit too brave, and kind of stupid.
