i think desh might have just been randomly posting this. Not sure if I detected motive. it's kinda interesting.
The AP puts out hundreds of news stories a day. You just happen to come across this one and feel it is important enough to post here without explaining why that is. Then you act surprised when folks discuss your motivation. Real shocker I'd say.
Give it up.
It won't matter how many times you explain why you posted it.
The angry Righties who spend their hours looking for any way to demonize your posts will claim they know better than you WHY you did what you did.
1) & 2) About 18 months ago. Posted at 02:10 PM ET, 05/21/2012 CATCHING UP WITH... Katherine Harris
3) If someone other than Desh posted this, there wouldn't have been a peep out of you guys. You know it, I know it, we all know it.
desh is a lot of things but I don't think she is one to make fun of those that kill themselves. I am on teamDesh for this one.
Why not just state in the OP why she posted the article instead of making people assume? How hard is it to state 'this (to me) is an example of why we need better mental health care in this country' when making the original post?
I mean even 'angry Righties' like Jarod thought she was posting it as a shot at Harris.
I do assign a 20% possibility desh might have come in and said something along the lines of "he just couldn't live with all his wifes lies anymore" or something like that.
Well then lets just make that a new rule.
If you start a thread you must post the REASON you started that particular thread in order to stave off any misguided speculation as to why you started a thread on a message board.
Being diagnosed with at least one serious health issue lead this man to take his life.
Why did no one recognized how stressful such a diaganoisis is?
why did his Dr not send him to the needed sources to avoid this result of his reasonable depression at being so ill?
Let's do that Zap! I think we can put a good petition together and market it well to other board members before taking it to the board moderators. I'm thinking we have a high chance for success here.
The mods will immediately dismiss as ridiculous ANYTHING, if my name is mentioned.

what zappas proposed is ridiculous.
From the article:
""The Swedish businessman had suffered from health issues in recent years, said Pastor William Hild of Sarasota First Baptist Church. Hild declined to elaborate on those health problems or how Ebbeson killed himself.""
Where did it say anything about a particular diagnosis? Millions of people have health issues as they get older and don't take their own lives. What do you know about this man that doctors should have recognized was different about him than millions of others?
