OH, people do come here for help right?

Oh believe me, I am honestly concerned about suicide rates but i don't need to explain myself on a subject that touches dear to my heart not to anyone.

And I'm sure you already read my reply that I didn't want to address the person directly because I don't know them and I don't know the type of things going on in their life. I'd rather just post a randomized post that if they happen across maybe they'll see it and it might make them think. I don't attempt to attack people directly

You're the one who brought it up - so you should be expected to need to back it up. If you are truly concerned, there are appropriate ways to address your concern. None of these ways involve "randomized" passive aggressive posts.

And I'm not sure what it says about you as a person that "calm, reasoned, and kind direct message to the person who has offended you" isn't an accessible tool in your tool box.

Well said Mary. I you.

I have so many things I'd like to say here in response, but frankly, I'm just too tired. I will say I saw a response of yours to a comment in the thread to which you refer, and I bit my tongue and just "moved on." However, I will now say that at the time, all I could think was that it was rather petty, junior-highish, and completely unnecessary. Methinks perhaps you should have taken your own advice today and just moved on.

Now I need a nap...

EDITED TO ADD: Oh, and I like being part of the .01% of anything! I've been on antidepressants for 14 years. I have NEVER had a suicidal thought in my life. Methinks that your data percentage may be a mite skewed.

You had great willpower then! Awesome! I do post some things that may be just what I'm thinking or feeling and whether a person likes it or not, it's my post, they have a choice to move on. If someone responds to my post with an inflammatory remark, depending on the patience I'm feeling at the moment, I may or may not respond "appropriately". But it was my post. Please go to my page and click on my comments on other people's posts and tell me when i have ever been anything but supportive and friendly? If someone posts something I don't like then I move on. But if it's my very own post? I'm not calling any singular person out or inciting someone to respond negatively, that's their choice. And like i said, if they're rude to me, on my post, then i may possibly be rude back. But its my post.

Actually, I did read all your posts before I commented here, because I wanted to make sure I remembered correctly that it was you. All the commenter said was "Um.." at the beginning of their comment. You proceeded to "um" your way through an entire paragraph, in a very obviously condescending and petty manner. It made me wonder if you were 12...it was such a juvenile way to respond.

I find it exceedingly interesting that you don't see a problem at all with that behavior, I suppose because you didn't outright call names? I can imagine a lot of people who would consider that kind of thing "bullying" behavior.

"I do post some things that may be just what I'm thinking or feeling and whether a person likes it or not, it's my post, they have a choice to move on." Perhaps the posters you call "witches" feel the same way about theirs?

You continue to respond here time after time with little quips that I think you believe are sarcasm, but they come across as catty and snide. I do not believe you are doing yourself any favors by continuing on in this manner.

I am too tired to waste any more time and energy on this conversation. I've met people like you a hundred times in my long life, and any rebuttal to your tirade is pointless, because you do not see in yourself the very same traits you are attributing to others here. I bid you a pleasant evening, and I'm out.

Actually she said um no just no...... in response to my comment not in response to someone elses, so yes i certainly did reply with um no, like i said if someone's rude to me, on my comment or post if I'm not in the most gracious mood, I may reply the same way they did. Im human. But i didnt go on her comment and be ignorant, that was my comment, to someone else and she chose to be rude to me, yes maybe i could have bit my tongue but i try to stand up for myself as much as I do for others.

so tell me, her response

um no just no couldnt be construed as rude?

Since I can't sleep, I'll respond: Emphatic...yes. Rude? No

well then how is what i said any more rude? I mean maybe it was emphatic too since i just repeated her words, childish yes but maybe just emphatic as well

Oh, good lord...to quote you "did you read my entire post?" I said you were condescending, petty, and juvenile...I never said rude.

At the risk of repeating myself, "...any rebuttal to your tirade is pointless, because you do not see in yourself the very same traits you are attributing to others here." The fact that every reaction to your original post here has been negative, and each person has repeatedly attempted to point out the error in both your handling of the issue and the flaws in your logic, you continue to defend your actions. I rest my case.

I also see you are one of those people who must have the last word. I grant you your wish. I have more important things to do...like watch paint dry.

I'm done.
