the problem with mental illness is the stigma society places on it. One way to remove this stigma is to understand that mental illness is exactly that, an illness. If the board can discuss a player or persons physical injury, then an informed, intelligent and respectful discussion of mental health probably helps to remove rather than perpetuate the stigma. One could argue that automatically blocking the discussion actually furthers the stigma. So far, the vast majority of the contribution have been respectful and a credit to this blog. Just wanted to say that.
