i stand firm that the real issue was not pro choice or pro suicide...if one looked at the link sent, one would understand what was going on. The pro choice part only came in, had the poster decided everyone was full of crap and could find no reason to keep going...which i did not seem them get quite to that point and i may be misinterpreting. problem was everyone getting caught up on the damned title of the post. There seemed to be two issues at hand. One band of ppl discussing pro suicide/pro choice/ methods and the other, the real issue based upon the link the poster gave us. The poster received little feedback on their stated issue.
Human beings just latch on to something and won't give it up. That is of no benefit to someone who is suicidal. Let's just kick them in the teeth? I feel kicked in the gut too.
Also, some people who come here, are going to be angry, have a chip on their shoulder, they have been through total hell. At times it's best to find a way to disarm that or find a way around it instead of egging them on. At least allow them to express their infuriation. Anger IS a valid feeling. Not everyone is sad...some have moved beyond sad. We can still talk to them though as one person to another.
The poster did continuously point out, that ppl were misinterpreting what they were saying. I clearly saw this misinterpretation...but ppl get hung up on a few words and won't let go long enough to LISTEN.
