Deneb, if you're going to dish it out, I think you should ensure that you can also take it! I don't think it's fair to post lots of extremely provocative things for all to read, then ask people not to post to you when they respond negatively to your provocative posts! That's my opinion, anyway.
To me, there's a clear trend here. You've done this before. The pattern is: You post regularly for a long time; your posts get morbid and start joking about death; your posts get more provocative; people respond negatively to your posts; you apologize with hpyerbole and ask people if they want you to die, imply that you'll die if you get more negative feedback or if you are asked to leave babble with a block, then often create your own DNP's to people who were upset with your posts. (You did it to me once!) Then after a while you seem to calm down and are REALLY back to normal, and your posts go back to normal, too. Then interacting with you is fun again. :)As a friend (who's currently kind of exasperated!), I'm asking you to think about this pattern. I understand that it's difficult to recognize the pattern once you're in it, but you do usually seem to recognize it once you're "back to yourself again."
Maybe it's just your cycle and there's nothing we can do except watch and hope that it will all end up OK. But I know that you're smart enough to know what works and doesn't work here on Babble. I don't think you're a troll AT ALL. But I DO sometimes wonder about why you post the things you do?
take care of yourself!
