Thank you for not banning me
Edited on Fri Jun-16-06 11:50 AM by HypnoToad
A lack of clarification in a post of mine led to its deletion, and a couple of responses that, in the original context, made full sense. It was my fault for not adding in proper clarification at the time. Big-time.

And I'll try to use the :sarcasm: emoticon in all further posts where I am being sarcastic toward the callous.



Edited: Grammatical content.

11. It said that HypnoToad...
...had "poopy pants". Such language is appalling. I hope this post doesn't get deleted for me repeating that.

17. In one respect, it was insensitive. But the person I was responding to
was being even more insensitive.

I've had people drop me like a hot potato because I tend to be emotionally needy at times too.

So, fuck yeah, it did hurt me when he said to "drop her" or whatever.

10. glad you explained it, HT
Because it wasn't terribly obvious from your post that you were being sarcastic. As much as I adore you, I'm afraid I assumed you were feeling somewhat fatalistic and seriously advocating suicide.
Sorry I got it wrong.

18. My dear progmom, you and none of the others is to blame.
I was. And I was so consumed in my own emotion to have not stepped back to clarify things properly the first time.

And, indeed, being so precise in my reference may not have been bright either - in retrospect, for the reference alone, deleting it was warranted.

16. Advising someone with a self-esteen problem to kill themselves
makes no sense, in any context. It was unacceptable, and therefore worth deletion.

19. Please see my followup responses, but
Edited on Fri Jun-16-06 05:18 PM by HypnoToad
I agree that posting the reference, regardless of consequences, was utterly stupid. I too am glad it was deleted; I didn't need to put in the reference, regardless of context. Someone may have taken it to heart too.

Of course, for people to say "drop the person" or whatever is extremely crass and hurtful too - AND might lead the dropee to kill themselves anyway.

Having been in a position that lady is in, for someone to say "drop me" really does hurt. And I have been suicidal before.

In short, I'm not the only one who needs to take care when responding to others' relationship troubles. Summarily advocating ditching the person like that one fella had is just as bad, if not worse. People really can get hurt.
