Fair enough, Alexandra. By the way, I am enjoying this discussion we have going. Almost time for me to go to bed, though.

I think you have good reasons for not intervening. I think there are many good reasons to intervene as well. I think that really it comes down to this: noone knows what is best for Deneb or anyone else. We are all just trying to do our best to help.

I personally get scared when someone posts such direct and certain threats of suicide. I realize this is a reocurring thing for Deneb. I just don't feel comfortable with letting it go and seeing if she will work it out herself. I'm scared.

My original post here on administration was actually just to alert Dr. Bob to the conversation that was going on. I don't know (forgive me, I haven't read about it) what the rules on this website are for things like this -- if he wants to intervene or not. I just felt safer leaving it up to him to decide. Maybe feeling like the responsibility was not mine anymore was part of it.

So, that's it. I'm not a stunch advocate for intervention in all cases. I argued for it here because
1. it seemed like a reasonable idea and
2. it seemed like it needed some defense considering the discussion going on here.
