"griefers" (whatever that means) = malicious crackers.

"hackers" they are not.

Wow...this is low. However, not surprising. I expect this stuff to increase.

If you could find them I would fry their computers and anything electronic connected to it.

As an epileptic..I say this...find these people...then find a way to make them experience a seizure...a grand mall. Having had several (I suffer when I don’t get enough sleep and/or caffeine) I can tell you they are not fun nor are they something to be “experimented” with.

My daughter had her first grand mal in October. She has a brain injury, so we did an EEG which was abnormal.

Now, she’s on anti-seizure medication and I am learning all about seizures.

I don’t like any of it. Seizures are bad, and the medication is necessary but evil.

Before anyone asks, I don’t believe that Ken Lowenberg is a relative. I have family in England, but on my mother’s side.

There are drugs that can induce seizures quite easily. A simple injection is all that is needed. I would make sure they get the crappy feeling of an aura and the post play feeling like a dumb ass after the seizure happens.

This calls for the death penalty.

My daughter didn’t have any warning when she had her grand mal. She was sound asleep. Her twin sister heard her cry out and found her passed out and seizing.

It was the scariest thing I have ever seen. My husband and I thought she was dying.

So far, she hasn’t had another grand mal, but I’m not convinced she isn’t having partials. She’ll complain of a stomach ache and headaches, and she’ll be very out of it (temper tantrums and emotional). Our neurologist says she’s just having behavior problems.

Anyway, I don’t like seizures.

Prayers for your daughter, and all who suffer with this affliction. And their families who must deal with it.

A few decades ago I learned that a dear friend and lover was secretly epileptic when she suffered a seizure shortly after we had made love; she went whack for a minute and then absolute still for many minutes -- I thought "My God I've killed her". Talk about scary. Afterward she kindly said it wasn't anything I did (for better or worse), but she explained that she was keeping her condition a secret because she was afraid of losing her driver's license (!). For many years she was a rock-n-roll drummer in Austin, and played under flashing lights without problems, so probably hers was not photosensitive. She's since passed on to the Great Gig in the Sky (unrelated cancer), and never let her secret be known except to the closest family and friends, and one trusted doctor.

I hope your daughter is able to learn to control the seizures and related effects and live a normal life.

Have you ruled out cardiac problems like Long QT syndrome and Brugada Syndrome? These can mimic epilepsy and like epilepsy can be very dangerous, but relativley benign when on the correct treatment.

Nah, too kind.

Put them in a small room with:

  1. Irregularly flashing bright lights.

  2. Loud eternally looping Britney Spears audio, edited to have irregular skips and repeats, and the occasional burst of deafening white noise.

  3. A mechanical arm that emerges at random and knocks them over onto the hard floor.

  4. A large heavy C-clamp tightened across their temples.
For the rest of their natural life.
