" Actually, it isn't difficult to understand. I was on another board (very similar to this one) where people were contantly threatening suicide. I understand how it can wreak havoc."
Threatening suicide is one thing; pretending it's occurred is quite another. Both are awful, but the second is unconscionable. I've been here for a long time, off and on. There have been tons of posters, including me, who've discussed their suicidal feelings. Very few people have actually threatened to commit suicide, certainly not in any overt way.Mair
PS: Check out the archives. Kristen's first attempt to post news of her recent demise came after a period when her very overt threats caused an enormous amount of handwringing on the part of a very anxious group of posters who went the next step of imploring Dr. Bob to notify local authorities to see if they could intervene.
