Noa,
Not having the energy or much interest in delving into the minutiae of Hannah's posts, I will say that :-when BJ offered her an anonymous address for posting to Samatarians, she said she was just sharing if anyone else wanted it.
-B'day offered support and an ear
-Angela offered support and an ear
-St. James points out the counterproductivity of the ask/insult approach
-Greg offers support and an ear
-The "death to all" quote is in a long and insulting post, and death to all unlumpy Hannahs is one sentence--the last.
-There are at least 3 posts that are inaccessible; the title is there but not the content, and if I recall, those were not polite posts.
-Her insulting posts to me were limited to 3, one of which is now inaccessible.
So, really it seems a matter of selective perception. You heard amongst all of the insults a desperate cry for help (even if one sentence out of a dozen), and I heard a lot of insults or aggressive statements with some references to despair or gallows humor.
We will never know unless she tells us what was on her mind.
