[Locke]

isobel you should come back

[Buddy Glass]

Hmm. These are not new isobel posts guys, what gives

[Dear You]

isobel it's a new month

come back

[antoine]

Isobel come to the coolteen thing in Philly we'll talk.

[gold and glass]

I don't care if she comes back, I'd just like to know that she's okay

[addison]

leave isobel the fuck alone. if she quit, good for her.

[gold and glass]

I think people who care about her were concerned that she was maybe in trouble

[Chyet]

boarders who post a lot about suicide should be required to make i quit threads or something

Problem is I quit threads are obnoxious. I know this and I think about suicide every day as a matter of routine.

[addison]

I think people who care about her were concerned that she was maybe in trouble

if they know her off-board they can contact her there. not to diminish her "depression", but her persona here was depressed kafka girl. why do you think this persona coincides with reality? what makes you think this person isn't enjoying her life in her way, and even if she's not, what can h fucking pn do about it? i'm sure she's way more adjusted to her weaknesses than most here are.

[Bartatua]

ban

[addison]

isobel was fritz-level self-aware. you should take her counsel, not the other way round. i hope she quit.

[Hal Jordan]

insane post

[Chyet]

Can't ban addisson he's legend and the pied piper of the skullfuckedfantastic

[Grand Epic]

She's definitely smart like that but she was way more earnest than Fritz.

[young opiate]

AAAAA STOP SETTING UP FALSE DICHOTOMIES YOU WEIRDOS

addison why do you keep doing this

you're not the only one who is aware of how/what people post (and their "personas") and your perspective about board-related stuff is so skewed about this shit most of the time that it's not even worth engaging you to discuss it.

[ahungbunny]

isobel was self-aware.

Her posts in the depressed thread point strongly in the opposite direction. For such a smart person, she was fairly ridiculously out of touch when she talked about herself. That I think she recognized this gives me hope.

i'm pretty sure i'm an authority on this type of thing, whether or not you or anyone else think so.
anyway, if it wasn't clear, i like isobel, i think she's a smart person, i think she probably suffers, a lot of people here do, but i don't know how this thread helps, i don't know if hipinion was good for her, i don't know if she's doing much better since she quit, and neither do you, this thread is useless. some people quit because they need to. fritz was like that, and so am i. i'll probably quit again soon.

[delgriffith]

Everybody just ignore addison, please.

[addison]

yes, please.

[SvenMaeglasson]

addison i hope you don't quit and develop a more flexible way of interacting with people. coming from a fellow blow-hard.

yeah. Sometimes it's easier to use brainpower to over-analyzing things as a way to avoid feelings and looking in the mirror. Especially if it comes easy being smart like her.

[Broncobama]

absolutely nobody ignore addison

i'm warning you

good post

[grizzleb]

I don't see that anyone was saying that hipinion was good for isobel, or that if she has merely quit using the internet then that wouldn't be a good thing for her, but merely expressing concern that someone well liked with depressive tendencies seems to have stopped showing up on any of her usual sites/answering emails etc.

[blogger status]

what if isobel was a guy this whole time

obviously people aren't worried about whether she quit the board or not

i don't know anyone that wouldn't be happy for her if she quit posting and was better off because of it

come on man

edit: grizzleb already pointed this out above

[Locke]

do you ever read old threads and you read isobel posts? and then you think about her and hope she's OK.

[crooked]
