I feel for the kid & I hope he gets his life together. I don't find anything funny about this.

Exactly right.  Psychological ailments can be as crippling as so-called "physical" ones--and in fact have "physical" causes.

Woah, woah... Age doesn't delete the porn bot spam. I think you guys are taking this way too seriously. Sure, it's serious for him, and no one's wishing him any ill-will... but still, it was pretty funny :-}

Sorry, I don't see anything funny in the struggles of Hirsch (it's not like he got drunk and got caught taking a leak on the ice at Mariucci...this doesn't appear to be something he brought on himself), nor did I see anything funny in the message itself...did I miss a joke?

I'm not big on censoring anyone, but seriously what's funny?

That and I thought we had this whole conversation last March.

When I made the first post (ahem, I screwed up by putting the subject of the post in the 'your name' field.  apparently i wasnt logged in.

Nothing was meant to be funny.  I just wanted to post the link because I knew we had talked about it before.  Cmon guys

Going with what I said when we did discuss this last March...  if he's on the ice playing against us, he's fair game.  But, if this is serious enough to be keeping him out of action for a whole year, we're at the point where it stops being a laughing matter.

This is a tragedy:

On the other hand, a guy who has to sit out of sports for a year to get some counseling (but is well enough to still go to school, in my understanding), isn't exactly like he has cancer or his mother died or something. It'd be cruel and wrong to say anything to his face or even his friends, but calling him a nut on a message board and finding his previous antics amusing - well, maybe I have a dark sense of humor, but I don't see it as a crime against humanity or anyone being hurt by it.

Ther's nothing funny about eating children, either.  So I ask those who would delete this thread: why do you hate children!!!!?

I don't get it.  The OP never said anything was funny.  He linked an article and labeled the situation a "saga," which is a fair word.  Why did everyone all of a sudden start an argument about whether this is "funny" or not?

Using the thread title "nut" may have something to do with it.
