You forgot to include the part where you claim government agents rented the apartment above and next to you and then used sound devices to deprive you of sleep until you lost your job.

yes, my schizo mind thought it was under "intrusive monitoring" under the "Countering Violent Extremism" program aimed at domestic dissidents. My schizo mind reached the conclusion that feds -- in order to better monitor me -- rented apartments next to mine. What a preposterous thing to believe, only a schizo would think feds would do that.

Hey I never called you anything, but it's quite the logical leap to believe that the federal government is spending millions of dollars to monitor you 24/7 and mess with you mentally/physically for leaving some innocuous comments online. If they're doing that to you, then they must be doing it to everyone else that commented on these forums, no? Wouldn't that require tens of thousands of people dedicated to doing nothing else but that? Do any agencies even employ that many people (in addition to the people doing their regular job duties)?

My intention here is nothing more than to help you see this from an outside perspective and reason your way through the situation.

That did happen. Could be just schizo though. Feds would never be so hateful.
