I am also posting about a specific behavior, NOT a specific person.
Saying, "I am thinking about killing myself if you don't stop ignorning me" is the same thing as "I AM killing myself because you are ignoring me". Same blackmail, we can do word play, but the meaning IS the same, and IS still a form of blackmail, which is what this orginal thread was about.
I wish I had saved the babblemails of threat and I wish there were copies of chat's where a certain poster said she WAS going to kill themselves if I ignorned them.I need to stay safe for me, and if I need to ignore a poster, I will do it for my own well being. But I don't need to hear, I am going to kill myself everytime I get into chat either and choose NOT to socialize with a paticular person who I feel is harrassing and blackmailing me. I have a right to talk or not talk who I want without being threatened with sucicide if I don't . And whether it is said, I FEEL like ODing or I AM going to OD, is the same thing in blackmailing a person. It is the intent of causing guilt in another person for their own purposes. There needs to be something done about this behavior on the boards, in chat and in babblemails.
