Anyone want to lick pomegranate juice off my fingers?

[Doubt The Rabbit]

I think I'll just ask the question on everyone's mind. What in the hell would make you think anyone in their right mind would take up an offer to go anywhere near your hand?

Threads these days just lose quality by the milisecond.

I would totally love to.... oh wait... Only ladies aye. Thats unfortunate. Maybe I can ask minty.

Hey, Skorian...

"People don't prevent growth and improvement."

We haven't prevented the growth and improvement of your originating post, so make it grow and improve. You stirred up a little mud (minor inclarity), made a few people curious and left us all with nothing that we could do about your post...and that interests me, because so many thought it should have been different and differently handled - yet, it reads as something harmless.

- Can you see yourself writing speeches for politicians?
- Can you see yourself being a foreign correspondent for one of the big news squads?
- What do you want to do with your writing?

Ian.

Here you don't find this sort of normalish thing. Instead you find people threatening suicide or destroying anything like this.

If you don't stop talking about licking juice off of fingers I'm gunna kill myself Dx.

The irony of this, is I suspect this goes on here more then I am even aware. People making threats of violence to themselves to get attention or to be controlling of others. It is extremely abusive and controlling. There are no real consiquences here. This site is not fully set up to deal with mental illness. Some people should be turned into the police for even suggesting things like this.

The mods seem to be too sensitive to really stand up to it appropriatly and people here prey upon that.

 

[Ian Haines]

What form of standing up would you recommend Moderators do in the face of a person who expresses their wish to end their own life? Details would be very helpful, I'd guess, in this one.

My interests lie in orthomolecular medicine, not writing. I have taken creative writing in years gone past. I have a computer full of writings. Recorded speaking on subjects and topics. Anyway.

Most all of what I have said here is around a few basic topics. It is very repetative.

What Ryan said was OBVIOUSLY not serious and just a reminder - this is site for people who are "lonely" and not one dedicated to people with mental illnesses.

Well that would have to be researched. An IP would get you close to where they live. You could contact their ISP that said person is threatening to end their life. Might want to find a more exacting method so you could call the local athorities, however as I am not sure an ISP would do anything. Peoples family or relations should be contacted, or at least the local hospital or police.

Obviously.

You have a reputation of 21 and are nearing the 2,000th post. If you were a problem, you'd've never lasted this long.

If you want to start another thread, to answer my next question, I see no reason why you shouldn't. What is "orthomolecular medicine"?

 

[Thrasymachus]

At first, I was like wtf? Personally I don't really post just to post, alot of forums have that type of culture, and I find it way immature. I didn't expect Skorian to ever do that type of thing(post to post), but apparently he had some deeper purpose and social critique to this thread. His point couldn't have been been made if the membership didn't provide the ammunition, but they did.

Alot of bad stuff goes on in this forum. For example many forumers here will just attention whore by saying they have no friend and making a thread soliciting others to be their friends. Alot of people feed in to that by writing, "I will be your friend." I mean come on people, social dynamics do not work like that, if they did close this site, as all you have to do is go to any stranger and ask them to be your friend with no other interaction. How do those interactions end? Maybe they PM and email for a while, but they stop, because you cannot be a friend by such a shallow method, especially over the net. If people are unrealistic enough to buy into that, they will be devastated, but as it is, it just encourages the type of needy attention seeking that is mentally draining to others being exposed to it.

I could go on, but that should suffice, you can see that this forum is perhaps not a refugee, rather a purgatory.

Do you see this as a significant failing in the structure and use of the internet, generally? This, remember, could make a great new topic of discussion, about an essential concern.

I think I talked about that on here a few times over the last several years. I may even have a thread dedicated to it. Haven't posted to it in over two years if I do. I know I have mentioned it before.

Google it. It is basically nutritional medicine. Started by nobel prize winner Linus Pauling. They have their own medical journal.

Most sites would treat such behavior very differently. Someone threatnening suicide might simply be banned outright on a regular site. On a mental health forum, there are tons, it has been a while since I have spent time on one, but I doubt they would shrug the behavior off. It is painful to be on a site where people are really bad, things only get weirder the worse people are. Anyway, it is serious to claim suicide. There are probably past members from here who have killed themselves. I would bet there are several members on here who have criminal records. Not everyone who is arrested is a meathead that is just an ass. Some of the strangest and worst crimes are commited by people who are strange or lack confidence.

In the last couple weeks there was one post where a member claimed to want to cut their mothers lips off. I don't know who says that, even when mad? Who would even be thinking of using a knife on someones lips? Most people respond more like "YOU SUCK" when angry with someone.

Most of the discussions on here are simply a mess. Not much is really taken seriously or really discussed. And when they are, no conclusion is reached. Most things are simply a total joke or turn into a fight. Or totally unreal and just weird.

There are tons of normal lonely people out there. This site seems to send most away. The primary purpose of this site seems to be to make people feel better. Only normal people aren't looking for someone online to hold their hand like happens here. It is an empty fantasy since no one, but a computer, is really there. That draws mentally ill people like flies. Because people who tend to be labeled mentally ill have emotional instability and tend to lack the skills to deal with real people in everyday life.



Above is a google link that goes to sites that let you pinpoint IP locations. Probably should look at it more closely, but it probably has sites that do what I am expecting.

Not talking to other men about licking anything......

For those of you who don't know, this is the pomegranate juice licking theme song:

[Ian Haines]

The cutting off of lips is a frequently found punishment for those taken captive during a religious war...very often in Africa!

It's not something that could warm a member's heart if included in a post, regardless of the reasons for the possibly causative anger felt by that poster.

Mental health on a loneliness forum is a cluster-bomb of surprises, on some days. I've moderated psychotic depression forums, incurable manic-depressive psychosis/es boards and forums involving the after-sentence confessing of sex murderers and killers with racial motivations, and I doubt that anything would ever again surprise me. I just prefer not to work those forums any longer.

I was a little hopeful that I could have a little fun conversation. That someone else would too, but that didn't happen obviously. Didn't know exactly what would happen, but I wasn't suprised by what did.

I can't say I have ever heard of cutting off a persons lips before. It wouldn't even silence them if that was what they were going for. Just be totally horrible and painful.

Why would you do that to yourself? Some of these people should not be online at all. The last thing they need is, "how to make a bomb". or other such information. And the internet should not be sensored to not allow all knowledge and learning. Some people just need to be excluded from it. Information isn't good or bad. Just what it is used for.
