Feeding trolls and Christmas cheer

There’s a bridge right here in my living room. Don’t make me do it, with your callous indifference to my plight.

I'm sorry to be a grinch here, but for the sake of all people with mental health issues and their friends and relatives, I have to point out that suicide, especially at Christmas, is not a joking matter.

I wholeheartedly agree, which is why I have no time for people who behave in the way described earlier on this thread.
 
To be clear, the discussion was not about people who are suicidal, or suffering from depression, it was about people who elicit care/seek attention, by claiming that they are standing on a bridge, about to jump off, when they are actually quite safe in their own home. They like the idea, of the police, ambulance and fire service, scurrying round trying to find them, while potentially disrupting motorway traffic. No much different from flying a drone over Gatwick imo. These people do need help, and confronting their behaviour is part of the appropriate treatment

Oooh can we add:

- Secret knowledge of 'The Real Story', darkly hinted at but funnily enough never evidenced ..... closely allied with
- Secret Knowledge of a posters 'True Nature'.

My cunning plan to try to rub along reasonably amicably and respectfully with most people has been exposed! I loathe you all really and have been pretending all along.
 
😳. There’s something to be said for living a mundane life.
ETA, by mundane I mean ordinary and minus drama....

Yeah, hadn't she had a terrible accident so "he" was posting to keep us in the loop?

I must be a terrible old cynic as I usually see these fabrications well before they're called out.

Yes, I remember Mr Vet. I think it started as "what shall I wear for this date where someone has asked me to meet them" and finished up with Mr Vet moving her into his wonderful farm and I seem to think there was a handy building that was going to be an indoor school, and Mr Vet was sweet and attentive...

Did that one get caught out when she out up a photo of her arm (leg?) in hospital with a needle in, and some clever poster realised somehow that it was all a load of balloney from the picture?

I do remember someone having a vet related query, and Mr Vet was going to PM about it. I do wonder what advice was given, being as there was no vet.

I do remember that catfish one too, I think the poster went to live in Ireland? Wales? with the new man, then somehow posted a photo of some Italian (?) male model, so not the person she had described. TBF, that was a long term poster, but either she had a much more interesting life than most, or it was already plain to see that things may not be as you would suspect.

I found the Mr Vet one to probably be someone stringing us along, but thought the Catfish one may be someone who really wished it to be true.
 
Brazilian model as someone's brazilian friend knew him ;).

He was Welsh

iirc we had also had the medical issues (hairy cell leukaemia) with that one too, medical issues do seem to be a recurring subject matter.
 
the catfish poster had already posted some mad rubbish about her horse and her 'step' kids-so much so that I couldn't understand why people believed a word she said. but generally I just stop reading posts from people that I find unlikely as I find it dull.
 
Do you remember the poster who had horses in Holland and she would write all about her competitions and beach rides etc. It then turned out they were stealing all the content off a blog and the actual person who had the blog rumbled them on here?
