In 1979, I visited Philip K. Dick for a profile I was writing.
For the past five years, he told me earnestly, he had been receiving messages from a spiritual entity. “It invaded my mind and assumed control of my motor centers,” he said. “It set about healing me physically and my 4-year-old boy, who had an undiagnosed life-threatening birth defect that no one had been aware of. It had memories dating back over 2,000 years. . . . There wasn’t anything that it didn’t seem to know.”
Dick had already written more than a million words of personal notes on this topic, he said, notes he referred to as his “exegesis” — a word that traditionally means an explanation or interpretation of Scripture. In his case, he was trying to explain the voices inside his head.
Shortly after his death in 1982, his book “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” became the movie “Blade Runner.” Since then, no fewer than 10 other motion pictures have been based on his work, including “Total Recall” and “Minority Report.”

I don't think anybody deserves being berated over a personal medical choice, especially a long time contributor here.
How are we supposed to guide, help and comfort confused strangers, when we are unable to properly address someone who already speaks our own language?
Given a time-out, I hope everybody reconsiders their words and attitudes.
