Thanks for the ping TigersEye. You care. It says a lot about your character. This thread also says a lot about the character of other FReepers. Some of the responses were so well thought out and well written. Not personally knowing this individual, there is NO way of contemplating whether they are a real risk to themself or not. The wall of the faceless internet unfortunately. Based on the fact that we don't know this individual personally, the great majority of FReepers gave this person the benefit of the doubt and took them for their word.
We can't behave or respond any other way. Decent people are like that.
Regardless of whatever the reason this person posted this thread. It should be taken into consideration that they obviously have some deep issues and do need prayer one way or another.
But duly noted, approach with caution.
