>Think for a minute. Have you ever had someone you care about hurt you? And then had that person apologize for hurting you?You accept the apology and things return to normal, but then in a couple of days that person repeats the hurtful behavior, following it with an apology after finding out you are hurt (again.) This goes on several more times. Each time the apology sounds less sincere to you, doesn't it? And each time you are warier that the behavior will repeat, aren't you? That is how I feel when I keep reading these posts.
I don’t see… That Deneb did anything wrong. The topic was indicated in the subject header. I would have thought that by now people would have learned whether or not to avoid her posts where she is going to be talking about suicide.
I think you missed the point here, Alexandra - that there is an apology, then a repeat of action requiring an apology, then an apology... if she hadn't done anything to upset people, then why the cycle of apology and posting repeatedly about the same subject? That's the problem with crying wolf - it does not get listened to if it happens often enough, and when someone is really upset to the point of seriously injuring themselves, it might happen that the cry goes unnoticed, unheard, and not responded to.Try googling this site for
