Jesus, what does it feel like to be you?
If you're hoping to add value to the discussion, I don't think telling the world in a crude and thoughtless manner ("sob-stories") how jaded you are about the tragic illness of a fellow human passes the bar.
Many of us know this man, did you think about that before you wrote this remark? But I'm doubting that would make a difference for you.
Man, I'm off the forums for a while, Reddit, HN, this whole bunch. This stuff is getting to me (which I'm sure some rejoice in).
- sspiff 13y agoWhile I doubt many here really know the person in question personally (having read about him doesn't qualify), I'm sorry if you do (for both his illness and having offended you), and it's not as if I'm devoid of emotions. I just don't think this is the forum to discuss such topics/stories, and I don't get emotionally attached to every bad news story that comes around. If I did, I'd be a very depressed person. Regardless, we're getting way off track from the discussion now.
