wacky, I normally don't engage when you act weird but my post had nothing at all to do with you and I didn't read any of your posts or anything before posting.
He missed the point of your Fatty post entirely.
SD's not talking about someone being mean, or feeling like they were picked on. That had nothing to do with what SD posted (and Fatty was NEVER PI'd, BTW).
What SD was talking about were those characteristics that fit one of the profiles that is often associated with the type of mental illness that leads to self harm. Fatty had that. He was creatively brilliant. He was empathetic. He was hilarious. He was also depressive, and neurotic and anxiety ridden. So, apparently, was Anthony Bourdain. Not everyone with those characteristics kills themselves, and plenty kill themselves who don't have all those characteristics. But if you, or someone you know, has these characteristics, maybe keep an eye on that.
PETE PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: A handful of years ago, I went through some things that are quite similar. I am very happy to report that today I consider life to be worth living. So, here's the thing...if you feel like that, you really CAN feel better again, but you will need the help of others. If you ask for it, and you do what they say, it will get better. You merely need willingness, open mindedness and honesty. The catch is that you don't get to know HOW it will get better or what "better" will look like.
But yeah, in the mean time, be nice to each other.
