Do you mean the one in the "Haiku" thread?

Yes....I'm very worried  ???

I sent an e-mail to him a while ago...no answer as of yet....

Yeah, Hairspray, but it's the words
"Sadness riddles me
Devoid of meaning, I go.
Forever sleep, farewell."
are scary.
End Quote

Those words are disturbing indeed. Couldn't it be another Haiku?

I'm figuring he's ok because he'd never before given us any indication that he was sad or depressed.

It was in the Haiku thread. It was his last post I could find and he deleted his profile. I found that very worrisome.

P.S. Why do you assume he deleted his profile?  ???

Because all his posts now show up only as "guest." :(

Quoting:
We should not jump to conclusions and make these kinds of assumptions.

We cannot know the reasoning or true meaning behind that last post with absolute certainty. There's no way.

Realistically, there's nothing much we can do for Kryllith if he should have done an irreversible act, except for prayers.

It would be more appropriate to have positive things to say, just in case he's just on a temporary hiatus. He may just be ill and hospitalized and have no access to a computer.

Let's just hope for the best, for there's nothing we could do otherwise.  :-/

During the hacking of the board, a few profiles were corrupted and/or gone. His was most likely one of the affected. End Quote

He had a profile yesterday. The avatar was those little dancing pooh guys. He never got around to changing it back to the grinning skull.

Hypothetical -

If I were to do something irreversible, I wouldn't have the presense of mind to go through the trouble of logging into the net and deleting a profile from a public messageboard which contains no strings to my identity.

I'm sure that's true. However, if one were simply very depressed and wanted to test the waters to see how much they were missed and/or appreciated, it would be a very logical thing to do.

I disagree with that, J.C.  Even a depressed person would realize the undue stress he would be placing on his friends, and knowing that coming back and saying "ha ha fooled ya!" would lose a few of those friends for him.  ;)

I'm sure if Kryllith wants or needs our help, he knows we'd all be here for him and therefore open up to someone.  :)  If he doesn't want our help, then there's nothing any of us can do.

I have to agree with Hairspray that we should give him the benefit of the doubt.  Maybe he just accidentally erased his profile, or got a computer virus....I'm sure we'll find out soon. :)

However, something very similar happened last year on another online forum that I frequent, except that a message was received purporting to report their death (and, I think, of the spouse - a car crash, or something). The forum put up a memorial message and mourned  - until this person re-appeared.

I disagree with that, J.C.

I have reason to believe Kryllith's post was the result of a somewhat personal matter.  I will talk to him.

Sorry to everyone who is concerned.  I'm sure Kryllith will be happy to see how many friends he has here who truly care.
End Quote

Thank you so much M.W. It is good to know that someone is in touch with him, and I assume from your post that he is okay. I didn't mean to be an alarmist, but I felt that the odd post ought to be addressed. I was just getting ready to log off (as I had an appointment) when I discovered it, and I asked R&RF to please post a query. So I'm afraid the fuss was all my fault.  :(  Please tell Kryllith that we all miss him, and are glad that he is alright.

MW, I agree with you totally...I just miss Kryllith and his wacky sense of humor...Be well, Kryllith.

Quoting:
Thanks for the explanation, BA. But it was Zella's post you were referring to. Was there another post you had an issue with? ???

End Quote

Oh!!  lol  DUH!!!  No, I meant Zella's statement, J.C.  I must have been reading yours, too, and got confused.  Sorry about that!!  What I meant by that was, I don't think Kryllith would post something like that just to see what reaction he would get. ;)

Ok, first off, my haiku sucked (specifically, I refer to the extra syllable in the last line).  Sadly, as a guest, I've no way of editting my posts, so the bad poetry had to stand (actually, this is just an assumption since I didn't try to modify the post to fix the last line... but I figure I'm pretty much on the mark in regards to my inability to edit it).

Secondly, as Hairspray suggested, I've been unable to access a computer the past couple of days because I was placed in protective care for threatening to commit suicide. Before anybody reacts to this, let me simply say that I am doing quite well, and, as a result, have been discharged early as a result. The depth of the reasons behind my threat is not something I really want to go into, especially since I was required to divulge them numerous times over the past couple of days. Simply know that I feel much better after I had a chance to release my pent emotions about various internal and external strifes which had riddled me with stress and occasional feelings of depression.

I'm sorry to have been a source for recent concern, but I'm thankful that I'm lucky enough to have people that care about me. It is a great comfort.

Let me be the first to say..oh alright the 2nd (Edit)..unless someone replies before I finish typing this....You will ALWAYS have a friend in me, and I'm Sure a lot of others here, if not everyone feels the same as I do.  We were all very concerned but I am so happy that you are back.  If you EVER want or need to talk to anyone I am here. ;)
