If you care anymore he's going to go #1 on the pop billboards for best new artist, win a Fark.com Photoshop contest for the FU Creamo goof, have a Hallmark deal for the History Channel graphical thankyou cards, and insult me till I pee myself while he's shivering in the corner.

My ego isn't in question. I'm wondering when he will do the next IL-2 Pacific Theater for Christs sake. I wish I had his talent in these hard times.

Nash, I wish you nothing but the best, but if you think you are going to kick it without getting involved in a structured program, you are in for a bad time. You need to get in touch with a doctor as well as NA. If you don't do these things, and you end up relapsing, I WILL say I told you so. You need to trust guys like Lazs - they have been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Please make your next post a report on your contacts with medical help and structured treatment. Spend your time doing that instead of spending it producing (admittedly excellent) works of art which will only delay your relapse slightly.

Well if we're lucky maybe DjV and Creamo will donate their both kidneys to people in need.
Sooner the better

Nash You've taken first steps and that's how everything beguns.
It's up to you how you continue from that but it sure would be a sad day to see such a talent guy drift away.
Stay with us and finish more of your songs; there's lots of crappier songs in top-10...
Good luck to you and I hope you can find strenght you're needing right now.

Well maybe Creamo could keep one of his kidneys....

I think Creamo and MiniD were pointing out just how meaningless it is for us to say nice things to Nash. The only thing that's going to help Nash is getting in touch with an MD and NA or similar. All the rest of the stuff in this thread is pure BS and does nothing to help him. Most of you are just reinforcing stupid behavior.

I think that's being a tad bit cynical, don't you? Some of us actually know Nash professionally and/or personally, and have a genuine concern for his well-being.

We all know that he needs to get professional help, but what's wrong with trying to show the man a little respect and encouragement?

At least he knows that there are people out here in the world who care about him.

And I don't agree with Mini-D's assessment that this BBS is nothing but an escape from reality. These are real people posting real thoughts and sharing real experiences. Sure, we have our share of worthless trifle day in and day out, and our share of troll-meisters, but once in a while there is a meaningful thread that means something to someone.

I hope Nash goes in immediately for professional treatment, but that's not going to stop me from letting him know I'm still here for him if he needs someone to talk to, or just to show him someone cares.

Sentimental? Perhaps, but I'm a sentimental kind of guy. Deal with it.

Not real responses banana... contrived ones. Always. Anyone that says otherwise is kidding themselves.

This world is not real. These arguments are not real. This advice is completely worthless in the real world.

I couldn't disagree more.

I'm not naiive enough to believe that everyone who posts on this BBS are being their true selves all the time, but I do believe that a great majority of people here write out their real beliefs and thoughts.

Mini D · « **Reply #175 on:** October 31, 2003, 01:19:20 PM »

What does that have to do with this situation banana? What does that really have to do with anything.

Put all of your beliefs into words banana. Put all of your thoughts into words. Do it without trying to make yourself look just a little more inteligent or a little more thoughtfull to those that don't know you. Really... give it a try.

You show people on the internet only the things you chose to show them. They are doing the same for you. That is not knowing each other. That is the difference between reality and the net... the ability to hide things that you couldn't otherwise.

You can get a feel for people and their beliefs. Sometimes its based on what they write, or what they don't write. But it is not the same as knowing someone. To imply otherwise is downright silly. To think you know someone enough through internet contact to help him through an attempt to quit heroin is downright dangerous.

Yes I agree that professional help is a must. However, telling the guy that we genuinely care what happens to him can only help. Why do we care you might ask? Many people posting here never spoke to nash before. We care because of what nash has done for this comminity, we care because we can see such talent and such potential, we care because another human being, read that again, a human being with feelings, with flesh and blood is in trouble. All the detractors are doing is trying to show that they're cleverer than the rest of us. This is someones life, not an excuse for people who couldnt give a rats prettythang about nash to look clever.

Totally disgusted. (BTW not aimed at you Funked:)

Pragmatic.

Summary of this thread as seen by me.
Nash: I have a possibly fatal medical condition and am trying a half-assed cure with 0.1% chance of success.
Everybody: Blah blah we love you, get well.
Creamo and MiniD: You idiot, don't listen to them, get some real help.
Everybody: You meanies! Happy thoughts and smileys and peace and love and bunny rabbits will cure him!
Me: WTF???????????

Animal · « **Reply #178 on:** October 31, 2003, 01:47:43 PM »

Wow Nash, see how destructive drugs are?
This flamewar is one of the consequences of the heroin addiction you had.
