Excuse me, in what sense did Ravi "fool" me, raunchy? He's acknowledged that he was *psychotic* during those few days: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/282658 We were right to be concerned. He wasn't "crying wolf," he was genuinely freaking out. But he did not, to the best of my recollection, ever actually threaten suicide. The worst of those posts are now gone from the archive, by the way (both Yahoo's and the Mail Archive). Either Ravi or one of the moderators deleted them at some point. One of the reasons I'm pretty confident he didn't threaten suicide was that I emailed Rick privately during that time to express my concerns, and I called Rick's attention to Ravi's having mentioned several times the possibility of dying. *I* said I thought that might indicate he was thinking of suicide, but it wasn't an explicit threat. He was in such psychic turmoil it may well have seemed to him that he was dying. He wasn't trying to "fool" anybody that he was in a bad way. He *was* in a bad way. Thank God he came through it.
