Is this going to be another case of you "withdrawing your claim" just before you get banned? The bad precedent of that being allowed has already been set, after all: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=239&t=113050

Someone clearly doesnt understand sarcasm. How far are you away from a permaban saxi?

However close he is, he's still not close enough. Another pointlesss c&a report wasting everyones time.

You actually took him seriously? Someone needs to develop their sarcasm recognition skills a little more.

.....and besides, it didnt work cuz he's still posting.

Correct. The offender was not being colloquial or jocular in his remark. As the offender noted, he was being sarcastic.

sarcasm - a cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound

Suggesting someone commit suicide in a message board disagreement and doing so with the intent to emotionally wound them (sarcasm) is reckless and irresponsible. The fulfillment of any type of effort to emotionally wound someone is the creation of emotional fragility. Suicide is an act borne of states of emotional fragility.

The seriousness and gravity of this exceptionally poor choice of words can not be understated and requires aggressive punitive action.

Well argued!

Hey woody this is similar to that death threat you were chirping about being made against you isn't it.

Mental anguish and all that.

Not really, no. Firstly it wasnt a threat. Secondly it wasnt a even a suggestion, I was just pointing another course of action that could be taken. If you cant live with that maybe you should.........well, no I'd better not, considering everyones emotional fragility.

Because "suicide" is another course of action that could be taken in any scenario posited in any post on CC but rarely is, uniquely raising it is an option with a poster with whom you disagree transforms the observation into an observation with intent, the course of action in question being a violent crime: killing a human.

As a former mental health professional I can state, affirmatively, that using exhortations of suicide to communicate your point can have disastrous consequences and has the potential to provoke a shared psychotic disorder even in disinterested observers. It should be penalized with the most serious sanction possible so as to mitigate the potential for it occurring again.

I'm not sure how you can even conceptually believe that the two situations could in any way be similar. In fact, I now have serious concerns about your intellect based on the idea that you can find a way that the two situations are similar.

As to the complaint here...Mods going to ignore this one until he withdraws it, I take it?

locked so he cant

this is closed....
We believe the report...Had merit. However in the futrue saxi...for posts you think are suspicious use the report a post button
