How hard is it to believe in "emotional crap" threads

[kh_s]

"I have lost a friend, I ask for your support"

"My [insert family member here] is injured/in the hospital, help me feel better"

How many of you ever see any topics like that before on some forum or maybe even chat ?!?!

I saw a few of these in some other forums, kinda sad (NOT SAD THAT YOU THINK, meaning sad for the person who posted it).
If I ever lost a family member, friend or whatever it may be, I wouldn't go to some internet forum and ask for strangers' support. I would go talk to my friends and other family and relatives.

Only way I will get emotional or actually feel bad is when I am at the funeral, or it was told to me by words.

Some forums are fairly tight knit and the members do actually correspond over email, telephone, or even get to train together.

Now, if you're just some punk off the street posting for the first time.....
