I know you where addressing them, even so the comment about mental illness is offensive and it is a public forum so its not just the person you are addressing who is going to see that comment and potentially be hurt by it.

If I directed a comment to someone about PTSD being 'a case of refusing to get over it' I'd expect others with PTSD who the comment was not directed at would still be offended...of course that would be a very ignorant thing to say.

Also PTSD is still largely viewed as a mental disorder, the illness vs. injury thing seems like a newer alternate way of looking at it...but it seems it gets discussed like its the only way to veiw it, comes off a little pushy but maybe that part is just me being overwhelmed by seeing a lot of it the last couple days and not having a wonderful grasp on it.
