Yes, from the harassment point of view I agree, but that's about the only point which I do agree.
No we aren't machines, we are all different. We all have our ailments issues and what not. Myself I suffer from depression and I have done for many years. But it's only been within the last 2 years or so give or take that I have finally admitted it. it came very nearly to destroying my relationship with my wife to be before I finally did something about it, that was nobody's fault accept my own. My own responsibility. Don't get me wrong Damien, I'm not heartless or anything like that, but I know from hard earned experience that if you neglect your responsibilities then after all said an done you're going to lose and the only person to look too for a reason for that is yourself. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Damien C. Pendleton Sent: 20 July 2011 13:40 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] To all members Darren, True, but certain conditions affect our choices, either for better or worse. We aren't just a computer who does everything from human programmed conditions or random number generators. We have emotions, we have commitments, and we have families. If our commitments get compromised by others to such an extent, then his emotions would have kicked in, which isn't exactly his fault. It is natural human instinct to do what is easiest for us, and if the pressure has mounted up so high that the easiest thing would be to work more for a quiet life, then he has done that throutgh instinct, not personal choice or preference. Who knows how much this guy has been harassed? All we know is it has made him snap, and that isn't tolerable either.
