'fluffy binnies'? that is SICK!!!

FGS. cant all the new angry ones just read the thread, all the serious bits, where everyone was actually being thoughtful. I think it's all been said, which is why it's run it's course and people are larking aobut - nothing wrong with that.

Please, read beros last post about being sick of called heartless and uncaring because of being concerned about those threads, it's valid and important, the only ones being heartless are the ones wilfully ignoring everyone else and just ranting the same line.

ROFL @ hunker and "fluffy Binnies"

cariboo · 02/06/2008 08:56

Yeah, back again. It's true that all the important, salient stuff has been said & resaid & then, for good measure, said again.

I can't believe that no-one had a go at me!

Actually the main reason why I'm adding yet another post to this overweight thread is that I feel I must (God help me!) defend Cod. She is what the French call "deuxième degrée" - ironic & apparent flippancy with a strong dose of self-mockery, high intelligence & a marvellous sense of humour.

You can send me a cheque through the post, Cod.

She is also evidently a 'poisson tres fickle' I see.

Cariboo I think I narrowed my eyes at you a few times, but to be honest couldn't work out what side you were on.

cariboo · 02/06/2008 09:46

squint away!

Rhubarb · 02/06/2008 09:49

Just referring to the OP, if you have the presence of mind to post on Mumsnet then you ain't gonna top yourself I don't think. These people usually aren't in a very reasonable state of mind and just do it as if on impulse, sometimes they don't even leave a note. My brother threatened suicide around Christmastime, texted us to say he was standing on a bridge in London and he was going to throw himself off. But we knew that as long as he had the presence of mind to text, then he was ok. It was more of a cry for help. Which is what these people want I think. A bit of sympathy and attention.

foxinsocks, you were one of the first posters to mention 'trained Samaritans'
and now that 2 trained Samaritans have disagreed with you,
suddenly their professional opinion is not good enough anymore.

Slubber's husband was the other mental health professional I spotted
on this thread saying that MNers 'keeping a suicidal person talking' was a good thing.
(Slubberdegullion on Fri 30-May-08 18:17:44)

The first 50-100 posts do make uncomfortable reading.
Example of dismissive statement: 'not our job'
Example of mocking statement: 'eeveryone getting all excited and orgasmnign oev th delight of it all'

MNers are by definition a lovely bunch of compassionate people
but the tone of those posts was harsh.

OK, have waded through the entire thread and fwiw, I think that Feeling Depressed should be a moderated section. I also think that any suicidal threads in Chat should immediately be moved to Feeling Depressed. There are some robust posters on MN and having been here for more years than I care to mention, I think that some recent posters are too fragile to cope out on the main boards (I think I've phrased that badly but YKWIM). The problem comes when someone posts a suicidal thread in Chat as nobody has Chat hidden, so it attracts everybody - helpers, rubberneckers and "pull your socks up" types. Hopefully if the threads were moved, only the helpers would continue to respond.

But when Titania was around, you couldn't name change for a start. Plus the board was a lot smaller.

agree about corralling into feeling depressed

zog · 02/06/2008 10:37

lol at red rug.

OK, I thought it was more recent than that. I do think namechanging causes a lot of grief on some threads though tbh.

Enid · 02/06/2008 10:37

then I can skip around the jolly style and food threads in the comforting knowledge that all the wailing is hidden from my delicate eyes, therefore continuing my slightly self satisfied, idyllic bubble of a life.

EffiePerine · 02/06/2008 10:38

daddyj: there have also been comments from mental health professionals

but I think we need an Expert Opinion on this

hence my (ignored) suggestion for a live chat with someone

maybe head of MIND or SANE?

or Samaritans bod?

increasing number of mental health isshoes in MN, besides suicide threads

would def agree to threads being moved from Chat for a start
