Originally posted by GHOST HUNTERDepends on what his honest answer to my question is. Will he offer one?
is that "passive aggression"?
Are the repeated references to suicide connected to his own OP?
Or are they connected to the discussion - and the people who have been in discussions here?
Is he still smarting from having made a bit of a fool of himself about the causes of suicide on the Ethical Creeds thread?
Who knows. It seems like a topic that should have been a new thread, and yet he's chosen to post it here on this one. What do you think it means?

It's up to each individual to "judge" themselves as these three authors have done and then published their points of view
as you have done here on this internet public forum.
I share their points of view.
Originally posted by GHOST HUNTERHow is it you think I have been "hard done by"? ~ your words. And a strange choice of words. I think you may be rather overestimating the effect of the content of your posts. Your little conveyor belt of teenage insults has no effect on me. robbie's been churning the same stuff out for years. I am more interested in how puerile it has all been ~ which does not render me "hard done by" in the slightest.
non stop whinning about things robbie and GB posted years ago, no one is interested move on.
nearly 100 pages after i made a valentines day joke, grow a pair.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyAre you willing to say why you have suddenly started posting rather obtrusively about suicide on this thread? It seems not. But why you wouldn't just say is not clear.
We're not, lolof.

I think perhaps GB you may have misinterpreted the meaning of this quote. (Apologies if you haven't). I'm 'assuming' you have interpreted it in a religious context, in that a man killing himself destroys all humanity as an affront to the divine. (?!) - I read it more that 'a man killing a man' still exists in the world, while a man killing himself 'turns off' existence, as far as he is concerned. I don't think Chesterton was passing a judgement on suicide itself.

For many, suicide has nothing to do with God. Indeed, many will not even believe in his existence. From experience, suicide in more often than not a desperate act from an individual overwhelmed by life.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbySince suicide is all about people who are no longer here to explain their actions, maybe it's irrelevant how we feel unless we know more about each individual case. Maybe we should just respect the fact that these tragedies are too complex for us to understand.
We're not, lolof.
