  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Are you a professional political pundit? I can't think of a reason why trying to set boundaries in a specific discussion group and keeping things on topic means that I (or anyone else) want suicides to continue.

In fact, since you are an admin I will ask you this question -- if I posted in a major price mistake by Delta in which you could get a R/T to LA for 92 cents, but I put it in the Amazon group, would you replicate it in the correct thread and still leave it in the Amazon thread to make sure that everyone saw it?
There is a dedicated thread already for this, linked to one post up.

We should stop reporting on them. Glorifying suiciders. He's probably a copycat from the one earlier in the week. He saw all the raving press about her.

Just like we should ignore the attention that mentally ill school shooters seek.

Are you serious?! Before I rip into you, please tell me.

Yes. The mentally ill that know what's going on will see that their accomplishments are ignored when they commit suicide.

That is evil. What you are saying is evil.

Again, Ben explains all these concepts really well, and as usual, is very clear and articulate with his points.

What you are saying seems pretty ignorant to me.

Ignorant of what? What information am I lacking? Teach me.

Ignorant of the wealth of statistics showing that each and every publicized suicide brings an upsurge in suicides and the psychiatric studies showing exactly what he wrote (albeit with more tact)

I concluded that it was ignorance and not that you disagree with what @Moshe123 took from it since that would not warrant calling it evil.

wealth of statistics? shouldn't be hard to name a source then. which studies are you referring to?

but the point is that you can't. yes, you can google and find a study. but if you were honest you would just admit that it's not like you've studied any of the primary sources on the subject. you're just regurgitating what you heard from a pundit (who in turn is regurgitating from the professionals who write his talking points) which is the same thing you do on the political threads and, frankly, i'm getting sick of it.

eta: i do not mean to imply that you are the only one who does this or even that you are the biggest offender.

This is actually something I had read in nervous books and had discussed at length in other threads. I would need to Google it since I don't remember the exact sources but this a long standing argument I've had.
