>>cubic_me>What about me already being able to notify your ISP?
I think I was more saying that if any one (or two) people could cause the ISP to be contacted, I would feel much more vulnerable to it than if just you (Dr. Bob) had the authority to do it, as you, I am presuming, have had more training in assessing risk than many of the posters here.

If I only have ideation, I am always sure to put that - one of my pathologies is that I don't like to worry people! However someone could use this in a manipulative way, by saying for example 'I think I'm going to kill myself tonight, so just incase I do I want to say goodbye and thanks to x, x and z etc, but actually I'm pretty sure that this is ideation and I'm not going to do it'. In any case they have managed to say their intent and their goodbyes, without having the ISP contacted.
