I’m referring to [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16778713&postcount=80) post. Let me bold the important parts since you failed to understand them the first time: > [@Gun based suicide Temple vs Mouth](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gun-based-suicide-temple-vs-mouth/631605/79): > > I’m an EMT, I’ve seen a number of gun-based suicides; they ain’t pretty. However, \*\*the single most horrific thing I ever saw \*\*was a power tool based one. It was about 15 years ago & it’s **still upsetting** to me. **I. Will. Not. Share. Specifics.** Put it this way, it didn’t involve a chainsaw, but even Leatherface would’ve said, “Damn, dude, now that’s f’ed up.” ---

Just my completely wild assed guess here but starting a pit thread on this seems to be a sure-fire way of asking for more. Dude, if i was that bad you should have just let the insensitive comment go. ---

The most important part of discretion is shutting the fuck up. If you don’t want anyone to ask you about a traumatic/embarrassing/secret/unpleasant event, don’t raise the subject. ETA: And you’ve now raised it twice. ---

What a tool. The OP’s nightmares couldn’t top the one I had last night. I had joined the Marines, but still had to look at Pap tests. :eek::eek::eek: ---

If you are going to take someone to the pit, you’ve got to be prepared to take a pick axe and lay them open. Weak pittance ---

I know it’s the pit where there seems to be an obligation to jump on somebody but I get where \*\*Spiderman \*\*is coming from. He took the observation to the pit so as not to disrupt the other thread. If it goes bad here it’s at least is this forum, not the other one. It is one of the hardest things to do: \*not \*say something when you are yearning to. Personally I write four or five posts then delete them for every one I actually post. Sometimes you just find yourself writing and hitting SEND knowing it will probably bite you in the ass in the end. Oh well, no great crime. I know a few people in this world who would greatly benefit from some self control (not a dig at **Spiderman**!) but I suppose if everyone had self control the world would be a lot more boring. ---

It looks like everyone is ratcheting up the pressure on him, with every post being another turn of the screw. Awl I know is that the issue is a plane as day. ---
