Two Word's Good But Extreme Intentions

[BombCat]

Hullo everybody, recently there were pretty harsh postings about this forum and it's members from Guest Two Words. While i do agree that his comments were very hurting for fragile people including myself, i do see the hidden good intentions.

What hidden intentions am i talking about? He's warning us of the "comfort" that depression (and other related problems) offers. Personally i have felt comfortable in the arms of depression but understood that this "comfort" is harmful, the comfort of not socialising, not going after what you want in life and many others.

When i visited this forum for quite a while, i kinda got more "comfortable" learning that many others have the same problem. Everybody, i feel that we should try to seek encouragement when we are initially down and badly bruised but do not live in this "comfort". Ultimately, we have to challenge ourselves at the end of the day.

So could we put a stop to any misunderstanding? Two Words, ya have to understand that often extreme methods have to be accompanied by a softer method. The rest of us, perhaps we can be more forgiving to Two Words(perhaps he has a problem himself too?)?

Let us all work towards freeing ourselves from our fears!

What Bomb says is true.

I think what 2 words says about "STOP IT" actually is quite true.

I was having negative images when i did a presentation, and i said to maself "stop it" and focused hard, and it actually stopped, really, and all was smooth.

But he was damn rude, couldnt stand it at all, when he said all those fuck words, i felt like jabbing his ass with my fingers till it bleeds, you hear that, two words?

BombCat, I see your point, but respectfully disagree. It seems to me more that he is interested in telling people to "snap out of it"-- the typical ignorant reaction of society at large to mental illness.

If it were that easy, this forum would not exist.

Of course, you are right that one should not "give in" to one's disorder. But neither should we take abuse from ignorant people.

His approach is like yelling "stop it!" at one's headache. It's pointless and counterproductive. Add in abusive ("it's not the swears, it's how they're used") and, were I a moderator, he'd be removed from the site.

People reading this site in a fragile emotional state don't need the "contributions" of Two Words and his ilk. I hope he will one day read his own writings during a painful period of his life and experience the taste of his own "medicine".

He probably has problems of his own (low self-esteem being a possibility) and maybe even SP (how else did he end up here? it's not the easiest site to find...)-- but without having the slightest bit of respect for others, he does not belong here.

To clarify: This has zero bearing, in my mind, on other folks here who have often responded harshly to posts by crashmodem (see the "Enough is enough!" thread.) Those posts, while a little "pissy" IMHO, and upset me somewhat, but were not abusive per se and were legitimately part of discussion, IMHO. It wouldn't in miy mind arise to troll-like, bounce-the-jerk behavior unless it emulated the Two Words approach-- "you're a pathetic loser," etc.

I'd love to see moderators here, while still allowing guests to post.

SingaporeGuy: I see your point... but that's not a pretty mental image

i totally agree with u all on 'two words' words.. they are kinda harsh. maybe i should follow what he says, maybe i should stop visiting this website. ohh bombcat, i don't get that nasi lemak joke.. remember! u eat with ur right hand, and wash with the other..

ps: speeking of the devil, i would like to hear what two words have to say about all this.

The guy is nuts. He is a walking time bomb in my opinion. Like dr jekyll and mr hyde. He used some offensive words and that is not okay with some people here.
