It's disturbing to see blatant prejudice on HN against someone who may have a mental illness. (I'm not a doctor, and I'm not saying he does. Maybe he just went on a drinks / drugs bender, in which case judge away.)<p>His erratic behaviour shouldn't be causing you to scrutinise their information; that's something you should be trying to do anyway.<p>For a reputable source you could try IRIN (Yes, I post lot from them. I have no connection to them.)<p>(<a href="http://www.irinnews.org/Report/95083/SECURITY-Fighting-Kony-with-beer-spy-planes-and-YouTube" rel="nofollow">http://www.irinnews.org/Report/95083/SECURITY-Fighting-Kony-...</a>)<p>> <i>Invisible Children only publish information on LRA, or suspected LRA, activity on their LRAcrisistracker.com website, while other acts of violence in the region - where aid workers say the “DRC government is absent” and there are alleged human rights abuses by FARDC and Ugandan troops operating with the assistance of US forces in CAR - never get a mention.</i>
the description sounds like textbook manic symptoms.<p>if i were this guy and suddenly had a huge internet audience watching my movies and then accusing me of distortion and lying, i can see it triggering a manic episode really easily.
Uhhh...<p>Wow...<p>Maybe it shouldn't...but that makes me think a little less of this guy.<p>I have always tried...<p>but now I think I will redouble my efforts to fact-check and look with a critical eye, at issues that come to my attention via 'Clicktivist' campaigns.<p>EDIT:<p>...He is described on the organization's [Invisible Children] website as a co-founder and "our grand storyteller and dreamer."...<p>Not at all a slow news day for clicktivism. Better to just rip the band-aid off though... less painful that way.
I have a hard time believing that after putting in all the effort of creating the video and getting it out there that this guy would do something like this but truth is stranger than fiction sometimes.
