>>Even if they are faking suicides, doesn't this show how much support they need? Banning them could make things worse.
<<I agree. They need support. But I don't think this is the right place for proper support for those folks.
Sometimes the type of support a person seeks is dysfunctional in itself. The person might feel *better* getting inflamatory responses, even negative attention.
And in the overall scheme of things, if the support given here is not helpful to that person, and the threads cause pain and annoyance to other posters, is it really wise to permit that type of behavior to go on here?
In any event, I really admire your ability to *not* read threads that are bothersome to you. I don't have that type of self-control.
