This is kinda long but I need some advice on something.
This started awhile ago. I posted on here with a dilemma with a friend and his "Thoughts" on people who do suicide. He wanna make fun of them and I called him heartless and thats when everything more or less started.
After that things seemed to be going fine until friends of mine added someone onto a Private FB group to whome I dident like for his consistent dark jokes about people who commit suicide to 9/11 to school shootings ect..ect.. I seen the post which include Dead people with cuts on their faces with alot of blood snuff pictures. Jokes on people who committed suicide and stuff like that. I clicked on the report button and the post and person was banned for few hours.
In turn I was kicked from the group because they say I "False flagged content and broke the rules". More or less alot of people got mad at me for that and want me to apologize for doing that.
They say they are just jokes and I need to "Get over it"
These people (Besides the dude that got added to the group I mention and posted that crap) were my friends for awhile. They say they were like my extended family for a long time.
DUers I want some honest advice on how should I handle this. Was it right to flag that "Content" or not.
On one hand I feel bad because it pissed alot of people off but on the other it was really violent and horrible stuff. I really dont know what to do.

(68,644 posts)...the management of this group isn't competent to run a group based on such a serious topic.
I recommend you walk away from it, if you want to stay in touch with people send a message to that effect, or start your own FB group. There is no limit to how many FB groups you can make, make all the groups you want and invite the friends you met at the other group.
And always keep legitimate resources like suicide help lines on hand and present on your pages.
Take care.

(11,065 posts)Where's the dilemma? Not only are they sick wackos with zero humanity they've treated you like crap by your trying to instill some which obviously didn't work because they're soulless emotionally warped mental midgets.
Are these online "friends" or actually friends? If they're online "friends" why in the world would you even give them the time of day? If they're actual friends why in the world would you even give them the time of day?
They aren't worth the scrapings from the bottom of a port-a-potty. Lose these sick fucks fast, and don't waste even a single second's thought on them.

(110 posts)They use to be fairly nice people. I known them for about 4 going on 5 years on skype and on FB.
Thats why I am torn here. They are pretty much demanding that I apologize for the "False Flagging" I did.

(10,418 posts)I think you got some pretty good advice there, especially the part about creating your own group. And as the second poster basically said, anyone who is dissing you over this is not worthy.
I would of made a new group but those people would not of joined.
Yea I think it is about time for the Train to leave the station or so to speak.
Thanks for the replys guys. Means alot.

Apologizing and crawling back to their group is justifying their behavior.
Friends come and go. It sounds like these have gone.

(82,333 posts)That said, friends don't shit on friends. If they're shitting on you they're not your friends.
facebook causes a lot of that.
FWIW, I think you did the right thing.
