I don't care if you're etching the text of your posts on a cave wall and having your descendants transcribe it millions of years in the future, you still posted a bunch of really awful things. How society regards the mentally ill, and suicide victims in particular, is not an "inconsequential subject" and you were talking more about that than having an elf named Robin or whatever this thread is about.
You indirectly called me a selfish coward and implied my life had or would have no value by extension so things are not "cool between us" and I'd say it is my fight. When you post things on a public forum anyone is allowed to read and reply to it, not just who you want. Get used to it. (Oh no, did I hurt your feelings by explaining a basic fact again? My sincere apologies.)
My gut reaction towards any person who attenpts suicide is to label them a coward, yes. Perhaps even reckless, ignorant, it's true. But very rarely will a happy-go-lucky person just kill themselves on a whim (that sounds really bipolar). There is the trademark pain that builds up to that. The difference between you and I, perhaps (though maybe there are many differences), is that I do not find pain to be an excuse for suicide, just like I'm again euthenasia. Though on second thought, I had not taken into account abandonment. If a person is truly alone then it's not a very fair fight against suicide, when extreme pain is involved. Most people I have met or know of who did it or tried it, however, were not completely abandoned, they often vehemently chose to isolate themselves, which usually makes it worse.
There is no shame in taking medication for those who need it. Medicine is good. Personally, antidepressants didn't help me, I just felt like a robot, which wasn't exactly improving my QOL - I'd rather feel pain than nothing, since the drugs blocked most positive emotions in my brain as well. BUT they work for some people, and they need them.
I understand you've got some history with this topic. That doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is that you are internalizing everything I say and are very confused (I know it must be confusion, and not ineptitude in communication, because of your fine handling of language).
When I as speaking of "everything is cool," I was not talking about you. I'm not delusional; I know everything is not cool between us. I was speaking of the previous person who got upset with me in this thread.
There doesn't have to be animosity between us. You have come a second time brandishing knives, trying your best to wound my ego. That is not how we ought to conduct ourselves in poite society, and it is a poor show of concern for your fellow man. I am not offended right now.
I would much rather discuss any deeper issues over PM, as this is a casual video game thread in a video game forum, and I'd rather not drag on a thread that maybe should fade away for the sake of a personal argument. We can keep it personal, you and I, if we must keep discussing suicide. I've already apologized for my coldhearted tone publicly, because I had not properly expressed my feelings and had already offended one person.
My personal life is not a matter of public record and is my own business, but if suicide and the circumstances leading up to it are in your mind an initiation into the secret club, or are the sole grounds for acceptable empathy, or what have you, then I am a card-carrying member. My life has not always been pristine and sheltered. I have endured terrible times. And yet I am here today by the grace of God.
Things can easily get blown out of proportion over the internet, since we are not conversing in real time, with facial expressions, and tone, inflection, and the presence of a human soul. Heck, I'm guilty of reading too much into someone's post and getting upset; I did it just last week. It happens. We correct ourselves and move on.
So unless you have a very specific point to make that does not involve my person, I advise you to, like other have, exercise some courage and tact and PM me with your grievances. If I have made some sort of serious error I will not hesitate to make amends as best I can. But to continue to slight me and insinuate things about my character will not do, and if you keep doing that in public then I will report you as a troll, as much as I would like to be your friend and resolve this.
