I even got banned from one message board for calling suicide "the ultimate act of selfishness," after other members started calling it "the ultimate act of bravery." I suppose that's the nature of the internet, though. Nothing brings out the absolute worst in people like lack of consequences.

I've got a much worse horror story, and so, I'm sure, do many women. My ex left a suicide message on my answering machine, after carefully telling me it wasn't my fault. It is a very long story. I may tell it someday. Suffice to say that I called him back, and he saw a side of me that you all have never seen. Rage does not begin to cover it. Let me just say that after this guy, I made up a new rule for dating: Don't ever date a man who admires Hemingway not for his writing ability, but because he committed suicide. Seriously. He didn't tell me about this until after I'd been seeing him. Trust me, I never would have had a second date if this had come up on the first one. Eh.

This stuff is what I'm talking about when I tell my friends that I do not mind my wife watching Springer, Dr. Filled-With-It, and the other TV freak shows. The guests on those shows make me look good. chsw Hmmm.
