Someone who i am on several e mail lists with , killed themselves last night , but yesterday and for several days before they had been involved in arguments on the list and I have no doubt that her being verbally attacked , insulted and reprimanded on line in front of people would have contributed to her feeling desperate enough to end it , obviously she was a vulnerable person any way before the argument started , but i feel people on line have unknowingly contributed to her death. I am so upset , i was not part of that argument , however I also didnt step in to stop it . ive now put up a long plea for people to take care and think before they post , using insulting , rude or attcking words, online none of us really know the mental state of another person and we could be the one who is just nasty enough to push someone over the edge .
i am so upset , cant stop shaking its making me want to leave my email lists forever , I dont ever want to be a party to making someone do that.
I'm sorry this happened and that you're taking this hard
sopho is right though, it's not you're fault.
