I agree with you. It doesn't guarantee anything. But why deny that person the chance it might. Medical studies have shown that by de-stigmatising suicide and openly talking about it, it HAS saved lives.

Talking openly about suicide doesn’t necessarily lead to de-stigmatization, because people reason from preconceived notions they have about the person they’re discussing suicide with. It’s hard for outsiders to gage what is going on and they’re likely to misinterpret the situation and the person’s thoughts and draw conclusions that could actually do more harm. Forcing someone to talk works counterproductive. Keeping an eye on someone as to make sure they don’t cause harm to themselves would be a more sensible strategy in my humble opinion. You can’t force someone to open up about their feelings. Make sure the person in question feels loved and make sure that person feels that they matter to you and everyone around them and hopefully they’ll open up and then it’s time to sit down and talk, not on my terms but on theirs.

again, I didn't say force them to speak. I said the option should be available to them if they want it. Kicking them hardly allows that.

You were discussing Babydolla’s father, though. Don’t keep referencing multiple conversations. Your comment about her father was unnecessarily insensitive. That’s hitting below the belt tbf.

Don't make things up thanks. Stop misrepresenting what I've posted to score points with the trolls. Your efforts are hitting below the belt tbf. Babydolla can apologise to all the people she's attacked and been unnecessarily insensitive to. She's not the only person here whose feelings matter. The selfish and self-absorbed thread she started says it all really. SHE doesn't own this website to decide who can and cannot be here, inciting trolls to gang up on vulnerable people, where do I stop?

so with this thread, now the mods too has a resource that they can redirect them to, & can proceed to removing them from the chat accordingly with the presumption that they are likely only fishing for pity...

I personally will never be directing anyone to any of your ridiculous, hateful threads. I’ll do what I’ve always done if people talk about suicide in chat. Warn them to stop. Provide them with mental health resources. And if they continue then I will incrementally mute/kick them, per the rules and standard practice.

No one in their right mind would hire you as a mod though. Keep dreaming.

If you’re not able to gather that from the comments she has made on here there’s no point in giving you examples. The details are there for all to see on this forum.

you're not making any sense. Babydolla has started a thread to incite hatred towards anyone contemplating suicide. WHY would any mod direct any vulnerable person to anything Babydolla has to offer?

That’s a great example of a deflection. If you make a statement you should be able to back it up with facts. This thread isn’t about me and my ability to moderate a chat room. You’re the one that brought that in. So either back it up with factual statements or it’s not valid.

It’s not a deflection, because I already gave examples in the previous comments I made, ad nauseam. What’s the point in repeating them? We can agree to disagree.

Huh? Where exactly are examples you gave of why no one in their right mind would hire me as a mod? I just scanned all 7 pages and you never made any comments related to that. 🤦🏻‍♂️
 
TheDifference said:
Nope. Just waiting for you to provide all these examples you said you made about me in this thread.

I’m not your lackey. I posted an example earlier as to why I believe Sanguine isn’t qualified to be a mod. I don’t care if you believe Babydolla’s thread is hateful, it doesn’t give Sanguine the right to talk **** about Babydolla’s deceased father.

Uhmmm ok? But that has nothing to do with me.
You quoted MY post and said no one in their right mind would hire ME as a mod. Maybe you got confused or something? Idk 🤷🏻‍♂️

I meant hire you as a forums admin, after you made that comment about Babydolla’s thread, calling it a ridiculous and hateful thread. Babydolla lost her father due to suicide, I don’t think it’s her intention to hate on people who are suicidal and she has every right to make this thread. It looks like you’re trying to get her thread closed down.
