You all know me to be an belligerent, opinionated asshole online, but I've been thinking lately that I may have been overstepping the mark with this KingCrimson business. I don't like the idea of suicide, but he probably didn't deserve the abuse I gave him. I'm also concerned that it may have affected my friendships here.
Meh. I dunno.

Don't worry I still love you Peaguy. Even though I don't really know you. ;D

Unrequited affection. How pitiful.

Your avie gets me hard,
in a disgusting sort of way,
if that's any consolation. :-*

Unrequited? Damn!!!

Yes. It's a BIG word, but if you say it
slowly, you can get it out.

Now for some serious replies...

I know what it means, numbnuts I'm just disappointed that my affection for peaguy is unrequited!

Maybe if you'd pay better attention
to them, they wouldn't have gone
numb.
-
Didn't really bother me. I am sure someone who was genuinely disturbed will post about it.

:laugh:
-
It bugged me, but no where near
the way the whole disbelief thing
did. Hell, I've heard your opinions,
and disagree.
Though, probably wasn't too politic
to express them, at that moment,
this is YOU. :laugh:

This thread was supposed to be serious business. :finger:
-
HERE?
-
HERE?
Not very good with pronouns, are you?
What part of "THIS thread" do you not understand?
-
Funny, since you only complained,
AFTER it took a turn for the serious.

Anybody that kills themselves because of things said on the internet is likely only looking for an excuse to do it and has lots of other problems. Any of which could put them over the edge. There is no mark to overstep
-
???
Where does ANY of this have to do with
things said over the internet causing someone
to off themself?

Here. Sort of.

AFAIK, he was already dead.

Then there is no line to step across. It's not like anybody here is sensitive just look at some of the things said
-
We're not talking about what
was said here.
-
Some of the stuff said on zomg pissed me off, but that was because I was worried about Starbuline.
-

You already know what I think about it, but from any point of view, there was really nothing to vile about it. When a suicide happens within a group of friends, that actually know each other, people will say some callous shit about the personal worth of that person if they were on bad terms, and that's not uncommon. So to just criticize the suicide on principle, when it involves a person that you aren't an acquaintance with, is not all that bad. I think everyone here pretty much takes for granted that we know what that person has gone through, anyway, and I seriously doubt there's anyone here who hasn't considered suicide for the same reasons.
-
Pea, your just being yourself. And I seriously doubt anything you said/say here would tip anybody over the edge any faster than stuff the rest of us have said. If somebody is going to off themselves, seriously off themselves, they're going to do it AND without much drama. Yes, there will be exceptions, but, people like that guy on wp are the exception, not the rule. When I was in nursing school I worked in a med-psych unit as an aide and one of my jobs was to sit with people who had attempted suicide and failed. I can't remember the exact number of people I had to sit one on one with but, the number may have been at least 20-30. Out of all of them, only two stick out in my mind as really trying to kill themselves. The rest were drama queens and kings. And this was on the 11pm-7am shift. After I left work and walked home, I just kept thinking to myself that it was too bad they failed. Yeah, thats harsh, but, after 8-12 hours of sitting an arms link from these whacko's and them playing head games or being emo and abusive to me and the rest of the staff. I would defy anybody to feel differently.
Walking home 3 miles to my apartment probably saved my sanity!

Wait...is AHayes/The Master dead?!

NO! :laugh:

Well, to be honest, the guy is dead so I heavily doubt he would care what you think. So, ironically, the issue is about upsetting the people who liked him, and it sounds like there were a couple who did. The best course of action would have been to not say anything but it doesn't really matter that you did, it's not that big of a deal.
