SOME people are being manipulative when they post a "Good Bye" post because they get off on seeing the reaction they get. It makes them feel better to know that people care. I do care about others, but if you post that you are kill yourself there is little I can do and it makes me feel helpless. And there are some people who just like to read the responses.
And as I have said, it is NOT ACCEPTABLE *BEHAVIOUR* on most forums. It is wrong and I think there should be reprocussions for people who engage in such behaviour on PB.
