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.

Actually, I think people reveal more of themselves here than they do in RL. I figured out a long time ago that all people put up a facade. Some are bigger and fancier than others, but everyone is a facade. You see a real person, talk to a real person, but you never really know what that persons thinking. You never know what they hide. What they think, but are to afraid of rejection to actually say or do.

On the internet, they put up a facade in a name or handle. Then they generally let you know what they're about. Not everything mind you. Something are just to much for even here.

Everyone hides something, some hide everything.

I like the internet because I can hide the fact that I sit around the house in women's undergarments.

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???????????

What Utter BS.

Maybe More Like:
Nash: I'm ill.
Everybody: You dumb twit, get some help and remember were here for you if you need to offload cause we care.
Creamo etc: Dont listen to them were much cleverer
Me: My opinion isnt worth a damn.

I think its the contrary. In real life, you can look at someone in the eyes.
You can hear their tone of voice and body movement.

In here people can just write and post pictures to make themselves seem like what they want to be.

Miniman and Creamtard have a point, regardless of the 'tactful' delivery method. Although, I think they are the only two having trouble seperating real medical advise from the support and/or motivation one sees in this thread.

Too bad it had to turn into a childish pissing contest.

Everyone knows that a Flight-Sim BBS is the best place EVAH for getting GREAT advice!

Look no further than Mia's love-life for proof!

Thats why everyone feels a bit akward first day of a con. Then they get drunk and its...like...all ok man:D Thats why some people NEVER show up to cons.

Yah... you don't say saur.

We are the only two not kidding ourselves into thinking we are actually helping.

The "cry for help" threads are always like this. A cry for help to people who only think they can. Its the curse of the internet... everyone is always ready with their pre-defined advice.

Me... I hope everything turns out OK for Nash. And I'll remember that nobody suggested he just try to cut back on the heroin since its really just a victimless crime.

Oh well... at least this whole thing added some drama to the O'Club. I guess Nash is good for something after all.

MiniD

This sums it up for me Mini D

You didn't add anything positive to this thread.

Me? All I said was get help and good luck. I also said good song.

What you have done is piss on everyone for just trying to send best wishes to Nash.

I'm sorry if I have brought negativity into this otherwise positive experience for everyone else in the community.

Maybe I should have tried to express my romantic experiences or notions on the subject instead?

Well... at least nobody posted poetry in this one.

You are a true moron. Has anyone here glorified a heroin addiction? The people here mostly have just responded with acknowlegdment of his problem and good luck, get help response. But not you. You have to piss on everyone.

You dismiss out of hand the internet as being a viable means of communication of ones thoughts or personality. How do you feel about written letters?

I think most of you TARDs are missing the point hes making here. The first few step in a 12 step program(NA or AA) is admiting to your higher power that you are powerless to the effects of (what ever it is) and to another human being, as well as admiting your wrongs to those who it wll not hurt.
And it for sure isnt hurting you fools but hes admiting his problem which for alot of people is very very very hard to do! let that man take back his life and keep moving forward your negativity isnt helping anyone except the other caring members of this community realize what arse holes you are..........
