> But what about her laughing about it on another site?
Laughing about it on another site shows her degree of mental illness. I completely agree with you that it is highly inappropriate behaviour.
> Surely the fake 'suicider' would learn from their bad behaviour and probably would not post another fake suicide on the next forum they found?...
As I mentioned in my first post, there is always a chance of reoffending...apparently a high chance. I doubt that a person in a bad state of depression would "learn" from their mistake right away. Recovery takes time as I am sure you are aware of.
I am in favour of a block for an offender. They should be punished as to learn that what they did was wrong. BUT, my point is, they shouldn't be permanently blocked. People often need second, third, fourth, and sometimes even fifth chances. I wouldn't want to alienate anyone. My goal is to help and support the people here. I know they may pull some hurtful stunts, but I know that is typical of mentally ill people. I expected it. I knew what I was getting into when I got on this board. This board isn't just for people recovering, it is also for people who are in the throes of illness.
...okay, I will get off my soapbox now. :) God bless!
