Although I am with you on the "attention seeking" bit, threatening to ban someone for saying something you don't like is a little over the top isn't it? Seems like an abuse of power just because you're a mod.
See forums like this getting taken over every day by power hungry moderators who don't like people who don't agree with them or point things out.
However, back on topic, yes I think the guy should have just been left to come down on his own.
I've worked with mental health patients in the past and my wife even more so.
People who threaten to kill themselves or do something stupid don't really want to, its just a cry for help.
People who are going to kill themselves don't make a song and dance about it and don't tell anyone - why would they? If they really want to do it, they wouldn't give anyone the chance to stop them.
The guy should be fined and made to pay the costs of the time for the services and people involved/disrupted by what he did.
People could of lost their jobs that day because of some "attention seeking idiot", so yes, i stand by what i said.
The more you give these fools attention the more they crave.
If this geezer was ignored he would of ended up just getting down on his own accord.
While there are people standing around "oh, shock, horror, he's gonna jump" he's gonna be lovin it because he's getting the attention.
How can that be cold hearted?
Anno if i was on that train if some pratt caused me to be late for work i'd get up on the roof myself just to give him a slap!
put him in ashworth and throw away the key!!!
(Just my opinion, no offence meant to any party)
Your spelling, grammar and judgement could all do with a little work there, _Ste_.
You seem to know an awful lot about this fella's state of mind at the time. Where did you get your information from?
Hit a nerve have I?
You seem to me like you need to watch what you say chief, could end up being suspended.
Who cares what my spelling and grammar are like?
Oh and I got my information from my brain, you know, brain sends signals to hands, hands write information to computer via keyboard?
