Thanx Marie...Thanx Mike...

holy ****.



that's..... that's something else...

I just hope that he is ok and gets the help that he needs.

Yeah it was really scary. He was really hurting. Lots of us e-mailed him, he responded to me a few times, but then deactivated. Just hope he is okay. Have a good day folks, got to get to work.

that's crazy ... why would anyone dare a person to do something like that? this must have been after I went to bed

AWWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I hope he's ok too...I can't believe someone hurting that much would be treated like that!!!!!!!!!!

There was another that wanted him to do it on webcam so he could watch. Now that is cold.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

That's more than cold...That's sadistic!!!!!!

the people that dared him should be banned forever!!

there are some shallow people out there... for the record... if anyone ever needs an ear... I'm usually here... I'm addicted to my computer now... so if i'm home i'm online instead of sitting infront of the tv and you are more than welcome to talk to me.. I have to restrictions on who e-mails me

I know, thought it was pretty bad, gotta be careful what we say = remember Mike's warning. His account has been reactivated but when I e-mailed him, it said he was not active. Don't know what that means. So guess he is at least okay this morning.

Take care guys, and have a good day.

oops I meant no restrictions on who can e-mail me

When someone says they are going to commit suicide, we shouldn't assume it is a plea for attention.

==============================================================
Dozens of internet users who allegedly goaded a depressed father to hang himself could face criminal charges.Kevin Whitrick, 42, killed himself live on the internet after being incited by chatroom users who initially believed he was play-acting.
Police investigating the death of the father of two from Telford, Shropshire, have interviewed many of those logged on to the 'insult' chatroom at the Paltalk.com website at the time of the suicide and have passed a file to the Crown Prosecution Service. Any chatroom visitor who urged Whitrick to hang himself could be guilty of assisting suicide, which carries a jail sentence.

wow... that's crazy... I hope all is well

Im with poohbear, i have a degree in family councilling so if anyone ever needs to chat Im here, I cant tellu what to do but I can give you some options for u to pick from in most cases!

Thank you spider, now maybe some people will wake up and understand that when you do ask for help, it's serious. Each and every time someone asks, we all should try and help the right way, and NOT encourage the act of committing suicide

It's funny...

I was involved in the suicide watch thread last night...

And this morning I wake up to an email from Mike about violating forum posting rules.

I clearly remember being one of the people last night being supportive of the gentleman in question. I know I said a few things that didn't make people happy about how the tracking of people through email addresses go, but I in no way was abusive to the member in question.

Now...why are the people who were clearly being abusive not banned? Did they also get these warning emails?

Why is it that the minute anyone around here feels threatened by something someone else says they all run to Mike and claim abuse...are we adults here or not? Cause if I joined this site under false pretenses, I'm going to be very upset...

HE probably was covering his bases Finger.

Generally in those area's it is a blanket warning that is issued to all involved.

Look folks -

The whole point of my warning is that you are NOT to attack other members. So don't call anyone "cold", don't say someone should be "banned", etc. They have a legitimate opinion and expressed it. And you are free to do the same, as long as it is in a respectful manner. Most of you have absolutely no context as to what was actually said or whether it was said sarcastically, etc.

If you want to argue with their position, that's absolutely fine. You can say "what if they were serious", "why take the chance that they are not joking", etc. etc. But you can't say "you're a cold hearted *****"

And finally, you may accuse me of being cold, but in the future, we're going to delete threads like the one last night as soon as they appear. This is a dating site, first and foremost. We delete all threads that cause drama on the forums. And a suicide note certainly qualifies.

Thanks,
Mike
