both those things are things everyone loved about fatty as well. so maybe that's something to think about if you want everyone to genuinely like you as a human being.

I totally agree. Was Fatty ever PI’d from the start? I just need a history lesson from PI’rs.

It’s easy to be humble when you literally start a PI board in 2010 and then 2018 hits you in the face all of a sudden, you’re clean from all of it. Everyone in your life has inflicted such an influence.

You guys started the boys will be boys theme, but laugh at mental illness. You have a part owner who legit fishes for weak ppl on twitter, so he can feed his ego. I love everyone here, but let’s stay consistent.

I think you have part of a valid critique. The expectations here are made known early though. If you can hang, great. If not, the board will let you know. I don't feel like people go out of their way to be mean though. I don't feel like this is a breeding ground for bullying. It just has (had?) high standards for posting. Not everyone can go to Harvard. And if you keep showing up for classes even though you weren't accepted, well, things might get very honest.

Your posts have as much substance as your avi picture has taste.

Well, you know, spending my evening on gE to see if people are talking about suicide. It's not as grim as it sounds though.

I get every take. I really do. I volunteer to be here. I get what I have coming at me. I legit love everyone here. I just think SD’s take was a little naive and I’m just here to help ppl understand what they might not know. Depression is genetic. How you deal with it, is up to the person dealing with it.

I don't know, man. Maybe go back and give his post another look. I didn't really take it that way. But, for sure, depression is a bad mamma jamma that none of us asked for, and not very many of us have a real good handle on how to deal with it. We're all just doing the best we can. Even the people who aren't depressed.

Fair and well written. You ever wonder if you were fairly medicated at the time and how things would have turned out with your talent. I always had the arm, but my mind lost it a n the last year.

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.

I wasn’t trying to be weird, SD. Just adding to the conversation. Thanks for sharing, Pete.

I'll take your word for it, you were on Fans before I was, but I certainly don't remember Fatty being PI'd by anyone.  If anything, he was dishing it out.

Yea, I PI'ed him; but only so he would engage with me.  It didn't work most of the time.  This kind of upset me, cause it made me feel like I wasn't important enough for him to have a conversation with.

P.S.  I feel bad about making Fatty jokes the day of his pasting.  I just didn't read earlier posts about his passing, so I didn't know.  I in turn got PI'ed quite a bit for this mistake that I wish I could redo on that day.  Maybe this should be in Hall of Shame thread.  :dunno:

Some ppl know how to put up a pretty good front. Sucks.

Yes in all likelihood we all interact somewhat regularly with someone who is one push in the wrong direction from killing themselves.

This.  There is so much occurring behind the public lives we lead.  Many people just want to be known well enough to have someone see beyond the surface and ask, to truly pay attention.
