Should we be more lenient towards writers if they have mental

You cannot write a good book without having a mental disorder.

Being a shitty writer naturally is as much a handicap to writing as being a shitty writer because of a mental disorder. The latter is considered more significant due to being a quantifiable thing.

Which would mean that either I would have to make the assumption that all writers make the same effort and appraise them all as equals, or set the same bar for all individual writers. I can sympathize with the fact the he's mentally ill, but it doesn't make me judge his work to be any higher. It's far too difficult to consider every individual problem for each and every writer, most are not as measurable, in any case.

So, no. And his writing is shite.

No, Jesus had holes in his hands yet still found a way to write the New Testament

I didn't know the New Testament was Jesus' own diary desu.

What do you mean, lenient? Should I read a crappy book just because the author is handicapped? If a book is crappy, I hope will point it out so others do not waste their time with it.

Being a shitty writer because of a mental disorder is a case of being a shitty writer naturally.

proof?

I read books, not authors.

Lenient in what way? I either like or learn from a book, or not.
