Then you have nothing to fear. Lynch mobs are breaking the law and you 
will be protected by our laws.

If your plan is to vent your poison with other like-minded individuals, 
I have no objection to that. If your plan is to remain anonymous because 
you wish to infiltrate general public forums (like this one, for 
example) then I would object strenuously.

So far, you have conducted yourself in a gentlemanly manner here. I have 
no objection to the conversation so far (other than the minor fact that 
it is somewhat off-topic).

I agree with you about the freedom to express your feelings to the 
medical staff. If they cannot deal with people who are diagnosed with 
your condition, they need to seek employment elsewhere or get training. 
Or, you need to have your doctor find the proper treatment center.

However, I think you should temper item 4 with a bit of gratitude. For 
example, the cause of your condition remains mostly unknown at this 
time, but I am sure that research continues. And, just because you were 
born with this affliction is not necessarily a reason to expect 
everything to come to you free of charge. In the not so distant past, 
some mentally ill patients were confined and given shock treatments. 
Farther back in time they were left to themselves to perish. You can 
thank the men of science who made our survival possible even with 
corrupt genes.

Cheers,
John
