This forum, from the brief time I have been here, people really need to think before they post.

I agree!
It is cyber bullying. I'm sure DXP doesn't want to be tied up in a lawsuit.

I second the idea of banning posters who say this. I also think the offenders should be required to undergo psych eval and take 24 weeks' worth of anger management instruction.
That said...I don't get why anybody would assign value to such disturbed comments.

What I have long found to be a great deal of irony is how with the proliferation of the internet the world has become a global village of sort, yet so many choose to forget that there is another sentient being behind the screen and that the words can and often times will hurt the recipient of the messages (depending on it's content).
I am no angel, but I do agree there should be a line drawn somewhere....
^^Agree. I think most here already know how I feel about this topic.
If not then I agree with Truecap; it's unnecessary, even in a joking manner.
I agree with op. There's a lot of hate on these boards but telling someone to kill themselves is absolutely sickening whether it's meant as a joke or not. You say that to the wrong person and that may push them over the edge. I know it's hard to remember that everyone posting here are actual people and not just usernames but it's no excuse. I've said it before on here but telling someone to kill themselves is one of the most sickening things you can say. Draw some lines for yourself and have a little self control
I have to admit I've said it before and really meant it??_..And I'm sorry ??_.but James Tate your still a dick hole for whatever reason I can't remember its been so long??_

i never tell anybody to go kill themselves to my knowledge. however, i could really care less if that CluelessCancer chick kill herself tho. and if she actually do it, i think dxp would be better off 🙂. sorry i didn't mean to offend anyone but that's how i feel. it is what it is.
That was completely unecessary.
Posted by truecap
I am offended by this behavior. I read people posting this to other users a lot lately and not only is it unecessary, but it is also crass and rude, making the one who posts it look like an illiterate, boorish ass who doesn't know how to communicate their thoughts in a presentable, logical way.
Yall need to think before you post something like that. What if the person you said it to was depressed and that just pushed them over the edge and they actually did it? How would you feel then?
Yes, this is the internet, and you may or may not be serious when you write this statement. You may be making a illconceived "joke", however you have NO IDEA the mental state of the person you are talking to.
So, please refrain from saying this statement.
Thank you for your consideration.
You're right, and thank you for posting this.
There's nothing funny about suicide; certainly not to those who may have lost someone they love, due to such a tragedy.

It's disturbing there even has to be a thread made about this...
Yes it is!! I've seen more than one say this.
In my three years of DXP, I have never even once blocked anyone or reported anyone. I'm hoping I wont have to.
Good for you Truecap for brining it up. It's awful seeing this and nothing is done about it.
We should FLAG it when we see it?

It's better to leave a situation before it escalates into a spitting game. Keep away from that person. It's easier to do that here.
Yes agreed however what if the other won't leave you alone? I get there is the block feature,.. But let's say for explain, the bandwagon comes in and only sees one side and continues said persons that is blocked fight? Just asking because have witnessed this a few times. Pitchfork the villager mentality. You can leave that thread but what if you have it continue into other threads...
This entire subject is something that need to be discussed.

It's a weak thread though. Instead of hiding behind a thread that is so passionate and ill felt, why generalize? Why not NAME NAMES to get it all on the table and address the people accused of saying it? It's like pointing the finger at someone and hiding the finger behind your back. What's up with that?
Causes the thread to go on for days...WHO SAID THIS??

Although I'd never say this to anyone, it's been said to me, and ya know what? I didn't flinch.

Woah Woah Woah??_..I think someone at least should be given a warning by a moderator if they are being malicious??_.you can't just permanently ban someone for running their mouth, I've lasted as long as I have in this forum because it doesn't censor??_
Personally nothing offends me and thats just that because I can know the difference between VR and RW??_..but I am affected when people in RW situations are affected by VR??_..having said that cyber bullying is something that can only be prevented by using the block button??_.its up to the individual to take some responsibility of what they are subjecting themselves to.
Why would the forum be sued because some dick head individual was slinging abuse and one person decided to off themselves—_.I hope for this sites sake I hope the terms and agreements protect it from dickhead individuals

There is no need in naming names. The ones who have done it, know who they are.

Because the US is a law-suit happy country. In their grief, someone's family would be relentless in placing blame on someone else.

In my mom's day, people used the phrase, "Drop dead!" as a slang comment. Is "Go kill yourself!" sort of the new slang, or do people really mean this?
Either way, it's in very bad taste.

I shan't presume to speak on TrueCap's behalf, but the way I see it, this thread is not address the behavior of only one or two individuals, but rather a pervasive pattern that has become rampant as of late.click to expand

Thanks for stopping by.
You are more than welcome to go searching and quoting. Though, I don't think it's necessary to get the point across.
The purpose of this thread is to bring attention to some users that they might want to reconsider their use of words, especially these words.

It should be grounds for an immediate and permanent ban.
Agreed.
However, there are some really nasty trolls on this site that would greatly benefit this planet if they would hurry up, and get their dirt naps on.
Posted by scorchedearth
there's only two people i can think of that have said this. and i think you're a bunch of pussies for attacking someone without at least having the decency to do it directly.
neither of those people are going to be banned, however, so you're wasting your breath.
We each have our own way of doing things.
Besides, because they are unlikely to get banned, it is a much classier to speak of the problem in general, rather than single them out and bring them out front and center in front of everyone. Again, there is no need in that.
Hopefully, by seeing a different point of view they will find more intelligent words to get their point across.

I dont get this blog because people on dxp excuse the behavior anyway. some even coddle such offenders aka clueless cancer.

Seriously? Sounds like the new and evolved thought police to me.
Although DXP has rules here, I did not read in anywhere that I'm responsible for mentally unstable individuals who may be offended. If that were the case dxp wouldn't exist.😢
I'm really out now..lol
Also how many of you have been on forums where everyone were just big nasty dick heads and they had biased moderators? Trust me its good here nothing needs to change!!!??_..Ive been kicked out of forums because of my eccentric grammar skills for fucks sake??_??_LllollL??_..
I know we are all stuck in the present and we are presented with issues of cyber bullying and all this shit but I've got my head stuck in the future and in the future kids are gonna be like??_..
kid 1 - "remember when kids were offing themselves because of Facebook?"
Kid 2 - "Facebook? WTF is Facebook?"??_
Kid 1 -" Some site where people stalked and poked and played primordial online games"
kid 2 -"never heard of it, I head were watching re-runs of efukt classics in first period"
kid 1- "year 5 sucks"

Translation-- the thread doesn't have enough fire-power.
But the reality is that if names were named, Truecap would be called out for making a thread "attacking" someone (or two, w/e).
Having a discussion may not be as much fun, but it is perfectly acceptable.
Though I'm sure she would have no problem with other posters doing so?

Rules or not. Legally, users are not responsible. Morally, they should be.
Posted by feby16aqua
Telling someone to go kill themselves is harsh, though.
Yes, but it's also a sign the speaker doesn't know how to communicate. People like this should be dismissed as irrelevant.

I don't necessarily disagree, but the change would be effected by reporting that/those users to the admin.
I am not scared LOL
The only person who I have seen say that is CC and I have been here for awhile.
SO, CC stop it, it's just downright wrong. Voil??.

I have told someone to kill themselves in my life. It's like anything. You get numb to the sting. I remember when I saw it the first time posted I was shocked.
Then I became desensitized to it.
I don't think progressions like that are good for the soul at all.
