In reply to the discussion: What are you willing to do to get MiddleFinger Mom to come back? [View all]mentalsolstice
(4,641 posts)35. Frankly, not anything
I'm sure he's a decent bloke, and he has many fans here. However, if I sense that someone on the internet is mentally/emotionally fragile, my only responsibility is to not do or say anything negative to push him further over the edge. OTOH, I feel no responsibility to take time out of my real life, and my obligations to family, friends, pets, etc., to constantly bolster that person's fragile mental state or ego.
Just being honest. I feel MFM's rant and GBCW post was insulting to his friends here. However, I feel absolutely no responsibility to make sure there are views/responses to every one of the insane number of posts he makes here. Sorry, it is what it is.
