It's not just you
There's a few people who go beyond forum banter and make personal attacks that are designed to make the recipient feel like shit. My post wasn't calling for a nanny state, just a bit of compassion. Coz it's not cool to not give a shit about your fellow human beings, yeah?

It's a blessing and a curse. I even care about you Chompy.

what do you mean "not just me"
The implication that I am encouraging people to kill themselves is pretty fucking offensive, and a collosal leap from what actually happened.

I mean
there are other people who my post was referring to besides you who have made personal attacks designed to make people feel like shit, particularly those who have spoken about genuine problems and are seen as easy targets. As I said - kicking people when they're down seems to be a sport on b3ta. It's not just about you.
I didn't imply you personally "encouraged" suicide. I implied that it's pretty heartless to make someone feel worse than they already do especially if you know they've got problems. And then they've been blamed for being oversensitive rather than the original posters taking responsibility for the fact that their posts were hurtful which is childish and downright unfair. I'd have more respect for someone who said "yes I'm intending to hurt someone and I don't care" than the people who try to justify it.

I don't want to talk about workboresme in the third person, as you said she hasn't actually asked us to defend her. So leaving her out of it, I still think your posts, and those of some others, were unnecessarily hurtful and that's all.

What Fuzzy means is that IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT YOU, CHUMPY!
For someone who claims to have a degree in psychology you really need to have a look at your Ego.

You're my favourite person on b3ta. So witty, and so intellectually superior.

I mean...
You changed it from chomp to chump! It's like you're channeling some of the greatest wit of all time! Some kind of mixture of Noel Coward and Oscar Wilde...

Oh, well, that told me.
Except, of course, it can be either - and I'd rather go by the dictionary than the word of some insufferable know it all on the Internet.
