Rightly so.
Actually I can't believe people are still surprised when other people take their journal entries - this kind or other - seriously. Until they're clearly marked as jokes or irony or actually funny. Which this obviously isn't.

Sorry someone acted so stupid and (apparently, as I don't know just what exactly happened) acted so damn ungraciously about it.

Nobody is acting graciously about this. I ran out of grace trying to explain to the goddamned clueless sherriff's deputy what was going on yesterday morning.

Yes, yes, yes.

Yeesh, this is scarily timely, with the anniversary of a friend's suicide just days away. Only her last post was a silly meme. She had everyone blindsided, even her twin.

OTOH, my roommate used to use suicide threats to manipulate me, and others around her, into doing what she'd designed for our lives. I wish I'd learned the above lesson and called the cops on her.

Ah, I may do that then if he continues with his further plans to go out of town and do it. (It's delayed slightly by finances he says so maybe there's time). I blew my hand on Sunday.

I don't know what brought this on and it's none of my business, but you're absolutely right. *hugstight*

YES. I don't know what caused this or what's going on, but you are completely in the right here. It's always better to take it seriously and be careful.
