Wikipedians' fragility

  • I brought this coverage to the notice of the editors and my lack of empathy got me cursed at. I'd like to point out that over-sensitivity to this issue of suicidal feeling enables ne'er-do-wells to exploit us by threatening self-harm when they're called out for making problematic edits. I encourage all to discover the context behind this media coverage. Sure, I can threaten to jump off a bridge to my death if The ed17 doesn't give me an immediate apology but that would be dishonest. I am a misanthrope so if Ed jumps off a bridge I don't care. Accordingly I can't see why anyone would care if I did. Certainly, people with mental illness need to seek help and I guarantee that help isn't to be found on Wikipedia. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:44, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
