iamomHas anybody checked this guy out yet? My heart really goes out to the guy - I haven't seen anybody that unhappy for a long, long time. I hope someone close to him will be able to help him out. He leaves lots of openings in his writing to try and start a debate, but I don't think that would be effective, given where he is.
Sometimes this Internet thing can be resoundingly cold, in a way. This guy needs personal contact with people who love and care for him (or something like that, I would imagine), but as he says in his profile, he's just miserable and reclusive instead. Poor guy. I'm sure he'd be pissed if he thought someone was pitying him, but it's not really pity... it's just caring.
Actually, I just thought of something. Maybe he's totally fine, and he's actually here to help the people he appears to be hurting right now. Is it possible to look at this from the other direction, and see how his insults and hurtful comments might provide people with an opportunity to grow and strengthen themselves? Maybe the guy is a poorly-trained or mismanaged angel who just has really shitty technique. It's hard to see past his Hitler icon to think something like that, but anything is possible, isn't it?
