7. Sometimes.
Mostly, I'm just jealous. Hell, if I kicked my cats would eat my body for a month before anyone noticed I'm not around.

8. I'm a professional insensitive asshole.
Part of my job is worrying about people I know in real life. And I'm fairly good at it.

11. Quoting from the OP:
"Because you know worrying about people you know in real life is SOOOOO STUPID."

Apparently, this is the criterion for being an insensitive asshole.

15. apparently I am
because i'd be pissed if i went missing for a few days on a forum and someone went as far as to call friends and family of mine to make sure i was ok. i think that's crossing a fairly large line. :shrug:

17. It was more than missing from here.
He missed a meetup HE ARRANGED without calling anyone or PM'ing anyone. Out of character. Plus people here who know his phone number had called him to see what was up and those calls were also not returned. So I guess worrying about people behaving uncharacteristic behavior is unacceptable..:shrug:

23. That's my feeling too
And I'd be mortified if someone did that to me.

That said, these mean and cruel threads and comments are so uncalled for. I sometimes wonder what in the hell is going on in these people's lives that they have to be so damn cruel. Something's truly missing in their lives is all I can make of it.

36. Oh, I hear ya!
It's way over the top. If you're friends with someone and are worried, handle it privately and don't announce it for the whole world to see.

And as far as those who manage to get in the middle of it with an offer to do a police check and phone call???? Get a grip!!
Who's to say he's not relaxing in his house smoking some weed? And the fucking cops show up knocking on his door? If he wasn't in trouble before, he is now!

Mind your own fucking business and let people live their lives without them having to worry about some anonymous person on a message board intruding upon your life acting like they really give a fucking shit because they annouce to the board that they have your number and address as if they're all important and all knowing. It's pretty sick. There are some two faced assholes on this board and that's for sure.

46. Funny - this actually happened to a friend.
He was going through a rough patch and shared his frustrations with some friends on a discussion board. When one of the internet friends was unable to reach him online or on the phone, he assumed the worst and called the police. Police arrived and arrested my friend for an outstanding BS warrant he had forgotten about.
I'm still not sure he's to the point where he can laugh about it.

I live alone. As anti-social as I was feeling then, I do appreciate that she cared enough to do that.

49. It would seem to me if a person truly wished to remain
anonymous, they wouldn't share their actual names or phone numbers here.

Therefore, logic would dictate that if a person did do those things, they might welcome someone wondering about their whereabouts.

40. Nah. Not stupid
I worry about friends who suddenly disappear.
Normally I can get a hold of them via phone.
Hell I could vanish from here and few would notice and that is fine with me.

I, however, wouldn't like the cops or my mom to be called if I go missing from here for a few days. I do understand what happened was uncharacteristic of him. It is always nice to be concerned.

Edited on Fri Mar-27-09 01:04 PM by La Lioness Priyanka
and in my inherent belief that even people i find are contemptible have a right to privacy that should not be violated

however i am frequently insensitive to bullies, especially passive aggressive bullies

and claming that you may have to call cops etc is just crossing a few lines. if you are his personal friend, then call him. dont create this crazy handwringing drama

57. Guilty as charged.
I got jacked up the other day for making sport of some poor fundie who cut his hand off 'cause god told him to.

See, if he'd had intellectual disability (we don't say "retarded" anymore) instead of (fairly obviously) mental illness, I'd've been the first to rush to his defense. So I'm an insensitive asshole and a giant hippacrit. :eyes:
