Reply #9 - May 25^th, 2012 at 5:52pm I agree the thread title is STUPID, but it is DRAH, and he was just trying to be inflammatory. His OP spelled out that he was not promoting anybodies suicide. Tasteless and stupid title, but if anyone actually reads on, there is nothing offensive there.

If you had have been able to do even a reasonable job at moderating, you'd still be one. What use are you? You can't even hold down a voluntary job. You got the flick and you've whinged ever since. Get over it.

I am very sorry Greens, yes, you must have been on my mind, lol, sorry again.
It was DRAH who posted that thread title, which I had moved to extremism exposed.
The rest of what I said was true though, the title was just meant to be a bit of a stir, and he opened his post with, "NOT REALLY" and then provided the link to the actual article.
I will go back and modify my comment Greens, to remove my incorrect nomination of you, as the poster.
You have my sincere apologies.
