many gaffers, and many people on the internet in general, are downright terrified. Of everything. Even food can be scary. You really can't post much on gaf without the expectation of a huge stream of death anxiety coming your way.

I disagree. As much as I bitch about GAFers, I have enough faith in them to do the right thing (read: whatever is humane) when it comes to a situation as serious as this. It's one of those moments where you snap out of you moldy Internet character and antics, and realize these are real human beings you're dealing with, and shit is about to go down. Even if the OP is my least favorite poster on the board, in a startling situation like this I'd do the same. I'd probably seek him out and drive him to where he could get help if we were in the same city. When real lives are at stakes and it's time to get over petty grudges.

You guys surely realize you are the minority there. As nice as the scenario you guys are painting is, it seems like a pretty unrealistic, romanticized and skewed view of reality to me. That being said I am a pessimist.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #24148 on:** July 06, 2012, 07:52:48 AM »

Beside seeking the person out, I don't see what's totally unrealistic about it. Here's the most realistic scenario I can come up with:

Somebody posts a suicidal note on a forum as large as GAF. Out of the hundreds (if not thousands) of people who read the post a couple of genuine people respond in a sincere way to it and offer help (e.g. a mere phone call). Their response could be fueled by personal experiences, for example. That reaction starts resonating with other people, and you know how many attention whores and me-toos are out there, so the circle of support expands.

That, imo, is the least I expect from a crowd as large as GAF's. It's just statistically impossible that not a single person would offer to help in any way, out of all of those people.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #24149 on:** July 06, 2012, 07:57:00 AM »

I think both sides are correct: On occasion, GAF can step things up and not be a bunch of spergin virgins. At the same time, most people who want to make a shitty joke know that this probably isn't the kind of thread to do it and they know that they will get permed for doing so. So they change what they say or they stay away from the thread. Kind of like piracy discussion.

This was already shown when soultron went out of his way to help a poster out who became homeless due to family issues (IIRC the poster was normally a xtard whenever they were on gaming side) and people pitched in even when others were skeptical about the whole thing. So i will give them a pass on this

I'm sure apathetic posters outweigh the "good" ones in an example like this, but if you're trying to suggest that there are "masses" aching to use that person as a punch line or subject of a bad pun but hadn't merely out of fear, then your perception is just as unrealistic/skewed and you need to pop some Prozac.

Yep. I think the average person wouldn't go out of their way to help a man standing on a ledge, but they wouldn't chant "jump! jump! jump!" either.

No I'm saying the masses are the apathetic + those wanting to make a bad pun. As a collective. The extremes of "good" and the "bad" are probably around the same.
