There seem to be few advocates for the three stooges in question because they occasionally give good advice and some find their remarks humorous.
But the thing is, this is an excellent source for needed information but i think we should remember that we have no way of knowing which members might be struggling with issues very stressful.
These are not easy times what with covid etc and inflation. We cant know the stressful situations of some who come here and we dont need to. However, an ounce of prevention… might prevent a tragedy. For some tragedies in other site forums its too late for people who felt singled out and bullied. One might say they were too sensitive and need to toughen up. I ask everyone to think ahead that we dont know if part of the reason people come here, in addition to advice, is because they might feel lonely or isolated (which can be exaccerbated by hearing impairment).
We arent social workers but we are human beings. WHAT IF for a sensitive member who took things to heart, resorted to the last extreme ultimate way to find a way out of the pain he or she felt for whatever reason. We might never find out that one of us died by his/her own hand, or the reasoning involved or the struggle, comments in this or any public forum should not be the last straw that drove them to self-destruct. To some lucky and secure individuals they just see a snarky comment or might seem nothing but a twisted sense of humor, but to an individual feeling cut off, isolated in a too-silent world, who might have just lost a loved one even a loved pet, the pain can feel too great and life as it was became intolerable.
Its not on my profile but i am an empath. Look it up if you dont know. Its not anything i took classes in, for whatever reason its a talent or sometimes a curse that i was born with. I pick up on the energy and emotions of others including sometimes animals and for whom the pain and heartache and fear become too great. I have learned that to protect myself, i choose a self imposed time out from overwhelming sadness i sense around me
Maybe im not explaining it well. but i ask you to tread lightly where the souls and minds and circumstances of others among is concerned, we cannot know who among us is weak and contemplating a permanent time out.
If the three were here i know what ive said here would result in a barrage of attacks. So Im glad they arent here so i could tell you what i know. Whether you believe me or not is up to you and i thank you for letting me say it because i sincerely want to help
