1. Thanks, Will.
You've given me quite a bit to chew on, there.

3. I do know.
But I won't name him.

All the same, it was directed at many of us.

12. what come around goes around........
....there will be another time when YOU are down and out and will get the same treatment when you're beggin' for sympathy which I've seen you do many times...this is such a fucked up display by someone who expects such extreme ego strokes so often. :puke:

26. Okay, just for only one example, let's talk about your I'm Burning Out
Thread, which WAS self-pitying, and which got a gazillion worried responses, as it should have because you had every reason to feel the way you did. We felt bad for you and worried about you, and were glad just to be able to keep your spirits up. And I seem to recall people making certain specific suggestions, such as having others help with editing/reviewing articles, taking breaks by doing ___________(fill in the blank), etc., etc., and I seem to recall your rejecting almost all of the suggestions, giving reasons why you could not do them and continuing your wallowing.

So you tell me how, exactly, that's any different? Is it because you're much more of a "celebrity" on here than Carlos or almost anyone else? How would YOU have felt if people had posted some of the nasty hostile crap they posted on his latest thread, I actually thought I was on Freak Republic by mistake, just like I did with several posters on my homeless thread. How would YOU have liked it if people had been cruel and dismissive and arrogant and nasty and basically told you to go throw yourself off a cliff? But they wouldn't do that to YOU now, would they?

17. It's sad...
Edited on Mon Nov-24-03 07:48 PM by LibertyChick

Life is hard-Damn straight. Life has not been good to me lately.

I am still not gonna pile it on someone who, whether through depression or whatever, is reaching out.

Not even someone who does not say thank you. Not even someone who gives terse answers.

I will assume that that person is having some type of mental problem, or personality problem, and let it be.

I have been following the story, have told him to stop whining, have been rather stern with him from time to time.

But no one makes my read his threads.

13. I know who you're talking about,
Edited on Mon Nov-24-03 07:46 PM by liberalhistorian
but has he really posted continual threads all the time about this? If he has, I guess I've missed them because frankly I'm not in the lounge an awful lot. If he has, I guess that explains some people coming down on him the way they did and I understand it better now. I guess because I was mugged at gunpoint a few months ago, just like he was, I thought I understood him more, maybe not though.

21. I wasn't thinking about a he--I was thinking about a she...
There are at least two or three perpetual victims here. Sometimes it gets so wacky--something needed to be said.

22. This person does post a lot.
With a lot of stuff that can get on one's nerves. I have seen him take a lot of abuse on this board, and he usually handles himself, here at least, well.

20. This is only going to
make the situation worse, seems like it would be best to just skip those threads and not draw even more attention there way. JMO
