> > >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.
Shar, I heard the hostility and aggressiveness too, but also the despair.
And, I heard lots of offers for help, as you mentioned.
I am not faulting anyone for not helping her. I agree that she seemed to be rejecting help.
But I am also not happy about people going on to mimic her in subsequent posts. That is my main point. Ignore someone if they are making it difficult to communicate appropriately. But we don't need to fan the fires of hostility, and we don't need humor at anyone's expense.
