No, I don't come here to save the world either, but perhaps it's worth considering in future.
* (yes, I hate that word too, but it's applicable here)
Look, I'm never going to be swapping spit in the showers with Sean and his 17 other alter egos, I find he terrorist sympathising abhorrent beyond compare, and yet if he kept it to a board that might be more "receptive" then it wouldn't affect myself and others who come to the board to talk and laugh about relevant stuff.
But I am sympathetic to his mental health issues, if they are indeed true (does anyone really know if it's fact?), but if he's not posting pictures of himself drinking a bottle of gin on a grass bank, or threading about how great wine is and can you recommend some for him to sample, I mean WTF. Valium or anti-psychotics, till you keep off the booze nothing works, and that's fact, I have seen it at close quarters. So instead of encouraging it, his so called friends might want to try being grown up about the situation and tell him as it is.
Facts people - if he has a death wish, then so be it, lets all indulge in larking about on a sports message board until you all end up posting his obituary...
I ignore FJ's religious, social and political beliefs (like I ignore everybody elses).
That said - I have a sense of compassion for people with alcohol and depression issues - I too have been around it and have gone through it myself and have had to take a step back more than once in life.
Old saying - the only person that is going to help you is you - as he struggles through it - I have a sense of understanding (again ignoring FJs religious, social and political beliefs) and compassion for it.
I hope he returns - I regard him as a valuable member of the community - I do understand how some can be offended by it - but as an individual I tune it out and enjoy conversing with FJ.
