Are you making fun of my suicidal crisis? It's really really hard to make a noose out of a whip. That dang Samaratin is taking his time replying too.

I really wish you wouldn't hang yourself though. You would be missed around here. If you wanna talk about it, I'll listen either on the board or via email. Probably the worse thing that might happen is that you end up wanting to hang me instead of yourself.

Hannah -
Is there anything that you'd like to talk about, or that we can help you with? Are you seeing a pdoc/have you called them?

Hannah,
Good morning. What an interesting thread... I may not be a samaritan (good or otherwise), but if you need to talk, I'm listening. As you already know, I don't always say the right thing, but I'll do anything I can to help.
I hope you have a peaceful day.
Greg

was Dr Bob has an adorable butt and a truly discernible brain. The remarks about Lumptonians were pure conjecture based on their reported preferences and lifestyles. Sorry if anyone's feelings were bruised. Nothing that can't be cured by chocolate I trust.

I don't think I can consider that very respectful of others' feelings, so I'm going to go ahead and block this "handle".

I guess I came in too late to reach Hannah, but maybe she is still reading.
Hannah, I think you confused a lot of people in your posts, and the fact that you were asking for help with feeling suicidal got confused by the insulting words.
I feel so sad that that happened. I hope that you can find somewhere to ask for help without adding comments that might take away from people understanding that you want help from them.
Call the local Samaritans. The number is usually in the front page of the phone book, or get it from 411. Or go to the emergency room.
Take care of yourself. Please.

I'm also sorry to see you go. You seemed to be having a pretty rough time of it last night.
As I mentioned last night, you will be missed.
Prays and best wishes,

>Hannah - let me add myself to the chorus of people sorry to see you feeling so awful and leaving this board. Obviously we were all a little slow in picking up on what was happening to you. I hope you can channel some of the anger you seem to feel towards yourself to clawing your way out of this temporary pit. Good Luck ksvt

>Hannah - I really hope you're ok. I came to this Board tonight in a pretty horrible frame of mind. I had an appointment with my therapist today where we mostly just talkied about how the last couple of years of therapy have done very little to curb my rather rampant and persistent suicidal ideation. I've come to look at it as an untreatable symptom that is just a part of me now and not necessarily related to depression. It's a pretty awful thought that I'm just going to spend the rest of my life drifting in and out of states where I'm either not thinking about myself at all, or ruminating all the time and feeling very self destructive. I can't figure out what's worse, worrying that I'm wasting my time in therapy or worrying that my therapist is going to bail out on me out of a sense of pure frustration that I can't seem to get it. I know this is probably an unintended result of your posts, but reading through this thread, has forced me to direct myself outward. What you've been going through sounds alot worse than my preoccupations. I hope things start looking up for you. Pax ksvt

> BobDr. Bob do you mean your feelings or did you block Hannah for disrespecting fantasy characters?
I realize she disrespected your person but she did apologize. The chocolate was a reference to Lumptonia, a fantasy. The Lumptonians she insulted were fantasy characters. It's your board and you can ban anyone you want to but I think it's interesting to consider what's real and what's part of a game. Are you the protector of Lumptonia and all it's fantasy characters? Do they have the same "rights" and "obligations" as other posters?
If somebody maligned my butt and called me EVIL I might ban them too but I think I would consider the insult ridiculous enough that any apology would suffice. Was the apology disrespectful of your feelings personally? Or is Hannah being banned for not being respectful of the fantasy characters' feelings?
I'm not trying to cause any controversy,though I obviously disagree with your decision. I am interested to know how you see your relationship with the Lumptonians. They should consider their fantasy quite a success if you've been drawn into it yourself.

Dear Dasypodidae,
While I've been a participant in Lumptonia, I am not a fantasy character and got slammed pretty hard by Hannah, as did a couple of other real people. While I do not presume to speak for Dr. Bob, it wouldn't surprise me if the blocking was a response to cumulative attacks.
I sincerely wish the very best for Hannah and am so terribly sorry for any part that I may have played in her difficulties.
While I am loathe to risk offending anyone, I am uncomfortable with the term "fantasy" as I am interpreting its use. If I have misinterpreted, please allow me to apologize in advance. In absolute sincerity, the humor of Lumptonia is very real and has been a very bright spot in some horribly dark days for me.
Something that Shar said earlier --- and I am paraphrasing, that there seems more going on here than just two threads. I'm wondering if she's right.
Could it be possible that humor is on trial here?

And how were the rest of us to know that the chocolate thing was a reference to Lumptonia?? I know you're all getting very protective of it, but I read the comment as very dismissive of anyone elses feelings.
~sighs~ Maybe non-lumptonians simply aren't good enough any more to post / read anything anymore, and anything bad that happens can easily be explained away as a "lumptonian thing". Just bear in mind other people - please.

Dear Nikkie,
My reference had nothing to do with the chocolate comment or anything Lumptonian at all. Obviously, I'm completely misunderstanding your point.

I'd like to try, for now, limiting Lumptonian references and expressions to the "Labrassador" thread. OK

Good Morning Hannah
I'm posting a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem for you and anyone else who is struggling. My favorite phrase is "that year of now done darkness". Because the fact that it will end or even the possibility that it will end is something to cling to. And encouraging you to hope, wish day come, and not choose not to be.
NOT, I’ll not, carrion comfort, Despair, not feast on thee;
Not untwist—slack they may be—these last strands of man
In me ór, most weary, cry I can no more. I can;
Can something, hope, wish day come, not choose not to be.
But ah, but O thou terrible, why wouldst thou rude on me 5
Thy wring-world right foot rock? lay a lionlimb against me? scan
With darksome devouring eyes my bruisèd bones? and fan,
O in turns of tempest, me heaped there; me frantic to avoid thee and flee?
Why? That my chaff might fly; my grain lie, sheer and clear.
Nay in all that toil, that coil, since (seems) I kissed the rod, 10
Hand rather, my heart lo! lapped strength, stole joy, would laugh, chéer.
Cheer whom though? the hero whose heaven-handling flung me, fóot tród
Me? or me that fought him? O which one? is it each one? That night, that year
Of now done darkness I wretch lay wrestling with (my God!) my God.

I think you may have misunderstood me a little but I think Dr Bob has solved the problem by asking posts on that unfortunate subject(in my personal opinion no offense to anybody else) to be restricted to one thread.
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!
