I often just lurk and I often see a poster I get worried about. When I see the signs that they might be ramping up to a downward spiral I am not comfortable with how to address it without crossing the line so I don't. I then feel bad for them, feel like I could have helped when I did not.
I would feel bad if I tried to help and got a PBC and there is no telling how i would react. So I don't take a chance. And that just makes me feel bad.
In the future, would it be possible to hit the notify button and say that you are worried about that poster or is that not an option. At least that would get a deputy or Dr. Bob on notice?
So that if you personally don't think you are able to help then someone else might be.
Some of the babblers don't have babblemail turned so that isn't always an option either.
Just wondering.

I feel bad for her. And for how everyone else is left feeling now too.
