Is that like when you refuse to accept someone else’s answer and continue to try to push your interpretation on them, even after they’ve explained their position and asked you leave it?

Because nothing helps a person with mental health issues, present or past, like badgering them about it…
(btw, to avoid confusion, I’m agreeing with you).

Who was I badgering with a mental illness. Russ says he was controlling his depression and I asked a couple of times about addiction to highlight a point about chemicals

Swings and roundabouts.

I’m surprised that you claim to have any real understanding of it for others given how unique and individual each case of depression is.

I don’t care whether you think anything I do is good or bad. You put forward a suggestion, I put you right on it, you refused to accept it.

The thread title didn't actually reflect the content of the linked article. There was no mention of "getting tough". It was about the launch of the Met's Online Hate Crime Hub.
Has the OHCH done it's job? You judge:

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
Topic! It’s not about mental health or illness or going to the gym. It’s about online trolls so let’s get back to it.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
It could be argued that I’ve been a victim of online trolling tonight by said “badgering” and targeting.
The absolute irony of who by.
It doesn’t bother me though. But it’s a classic example of how this whole subject is doomed to failure. I said it before, none of the links in this thread has showed the ideas, changes etc have had any real effect.

Exactly the whole point. Its [mostly] just a matter of someones opinion.

In fact the who term "troll" has been hijacked by the media.
A troll was never (originally) someone handing out online 'abuse'.

Apology not asked for or required. I was just pointing out the irony and hypocrisy.

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
The problem is that today we have people who believe they have the right to go anywhere on the internet and never have a bad experience and now want that guaranteed by law which is ridiculous. If an individual keeps returning to a website where they have a negative response then they are making a choice to expose themself to that negative experience and it shouldn't be on the website to change to accommodate that individual.
It's down to common sense and personal responsibility, now if a person is followed wherever they go and individually targeted then that's different and the law already provided the means to deal with it. Right now we are seeing a huge expansion of censorship online and offline and often those demanding it say they support free speech while doing everything they can to close it down we are getting closer to Orwell's 1984 not further away

Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
Another suicide, this time a paramedic:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-59741839.amp
Nobody knows what someone is going through in private and the effects that their actions can cause.
To question my disability because I have been successful in posting coherently is totally out of order. The two that are doing it have no idea what accessibility aids I use, how many people facilitate my attempts to lead a normal life or the number of times that I have had to edit or abandon posts.

People do have the right not to be abused, harassed, discriminated against etc online and this is what these new laws aim to achieve.
The consultation has now closed, but you as an individual had the right to put your view forward.

Yet you feel perfectly entitled to incorrectly comment and assume about the disability of others.
You won’t see it but the rest of us can see the irony of that post going in to orbit.
Just wow.
