jesus, I just can't type!!!!

"regarding THE posting OF suicide threats"

we swing what else can I say

I think suicide threats can be contagious. When I was a youth group leader, we actually brought a psychologist in to speak with us leaders because we had a rash of copy cat girls all crying suicide. Problem is -- who's on the level and needs help, who needs attention, and who just wants to be part of the "in-crowd". Worse thing was -- my daughter was one of them. Got her to the pdoc ASAP and she still 8 years later is on anti-depressants. Has tried going off but, it's not a good thing for her.

I like to be silly, make others laugh with my sarcastic wit aka being a smartass, but not pushing the envelope too much. There are lots that are hyper-sensitive so I don't want to offend.

I think sarcasm on-line is a tough one to read (literally). Unless you somehow identify it like we sometimes do to say "lol or he he or sigh" it's hard to read. Personally, I love sarcasm, but I just think it's a tough one online.

Yes, you are right about sarcasm on-line is though. I figured that one out yesterday MHA, didnt I?
I kind avoid now

THE SKY IS FALLING! tHE SKY IS FALLING!
No, wait... I'm just falling backwards.

I always type with my fingers crossed, just so I don't offend someone. ddfy75iigh 2sixu8 But, it's really hard to type with your fingers crossed!

You really are silly KnightHawk.

I guess I could offer some profound statement, perhaps explain quantum physics and the big bang theory... but, it's alot easier just to offer some humor.
Yes, browneyedgirl, we do discuss pertinent subjects when necessary. That's when we're not quabbling amongst ourselves!

Yea but it's been nice in here for a couple of days hasn't it? or have I become immune and don't notice anymore? hmmm???

MHA: If you mean the lack of back-stabbing, bickering, etc.,... then, yes it has been quite enjoyable. I may have actually learned a few things in the process! Peace.

Me too -- I have enjoyed peoples company, gotten to know people better, and yes, discussed and learned things that might not have happened otherwise.

Mmm, I have only been here a couple weeks I think, but I must say I agree that suicide threats are contagious, possibly if someone who was previously getting attention is no longer due to someone else making a threat. But, I also think maybe because there are alot of us on here, and we feel we need each other, that when one person swings bad, more of us identify with that, and end up experiencing it. I know after seeing a few manic post I felt a bit of it myself, and was swinging horribly for the rest of the day, and then back to my downess. ALSO, to go on, maybe the weather affects us hugely, or more like the season, and we experience similar things then too. So to get to the point, I don't know why we all change around the same times. And yes, sarcasm is hard to read online, I always realize that after a made a jerk out of myself. Wow, am I opinionated or what? lol

MHA: I think you've met everyone in the community!
BPsux: Try to ignore a large percentage of the postings, unless you're strong enough to read between the lines and accept things for what they really are. It'll save you alot of grief. I call certain posts "triggers"... and stay away from them. They trigger my BP and just drag me down.
