    I see, that's different. Cletus doesn't tell anyone to kill themselves but radio does.

    Let's all recall that this is the post by Cletus some of you all are so upset about:

    No that is not it, it is because he told a potentially suicidal person to off themselves while they were potentially reaching out for help. That person has since cleared things up. So are you trying to troll me here Chris because I stuck up for a person? I thought you were better than that.

    It is not what you said ...what a joke "it is because some people are weak", like I would have stood up to him for saying that.....
    it is because of this.

    Vulnerability?



    If she had wanted to commit suicide, she could have. The fact that she didn't means she was just posturing for attention or feeling sorry for herself. The world is a hard place. If you can't hack it, maybe you should check yourself out. It is your call, but don't play the "woe is me" routine. Suck it up and drive on or fall by the wayside.


    Post 149
    I have seen good men with bright futures and a zest for life killed in both combat and training... their lives snuffed out in an instant. Why should I care a rat's ass about or have any sympathy for somebody who wants to throw his or life away because they are having a bad hair day or somebody called them fat or they don't have the latest iPhone?


    Somebody needs to grab them by the stacking swivel and instead of coddling them, explain to them that sometimes life sucks, but ultimately, it is what YOU make of it. If you can't hack it, go ahead and pull the trigger, but be considerate enough to do it in a way that doesn't leave a mess for someone else to clean up.

    OK, but what I posted is what people attacked him for. If he later suggested hypotheically offing herself then I don't get your being upset about one but not the other: RadioGod was not hypothetical: "Wow, such manliness, such bravado, such stupid. Maybe you should go kill yourself."


    Someone with suicidal tendencies should not be posting that on a public forum. It has no place on a political forum.

    A person can reach out for help where ever they can it don't matter where. Where is your compassion anyways?

    Oh, so now I'm the problem? You don't have a good answer, do you.

    Reread Polly's post. She was not seeking help.

    She cleared it up. That has already been taking care of here. You guys are continuing on the drama it has already been settled. I was just clearing up that I didn't tell anyone to stfu someone told it to me. Why don't you let it go.

If they see something that serious in nature you would think they would step in. If a person tells a suicidal person to go off themselves in the forum, it is very serious.

    Just because he says over and over again that he didn't tell her to off herself does not make that the truth. If you read post #144 & 149 he said it clearly. It is undisputable. How a mod could ignore something that serious in nature without so much as a warning is beyond me. I could see if they weren't in the thread and didn't know about it, but they were.

    And, I don't consider it complaining openly, IMO I was stepping in because something terrible was happening and no one was sticking up for the person who was being treated like that. It was a serious offense in my opinion. I have gotten thread banned for something silly in comparison to this. I am not saying that the mods should be all crazy monitoring everything, I am saying it just for this one situation where they did see it. But who cares, we can step in and speak up for one another that is even better. But too bad more people don't do it. No one wants to get craped on or make enemies. If only we would all just do what is right instead of what we think is acceptable to others.

    My point is that mods tend to act on reports when they get them. They rarely take action without a report. Right or wrong, that is the way it is.

    I would agree with that in most cases. I felt this one was different and they were aware of it. But normally I would totally agree.

    So my saying a public political forum is no place to discuss such personal matters is "continuing on the drama"? Quite the opposite. You're the one on the offensive here, now you want to let it go? Just let it go then.
