Your comment is pointless, not to mention idiotic.

Sorry but that is not really true for many here. Me and many others know people here personally. I have visited the actual homes of three people from the archive. There is an actual gathering.

For many the EA is a support group, and in particular a place to help navigate our obsessions SAFELY.

I didn't really ask for any information about Hash except "can anyone confirm he's safe". All we need to know is whether he has PMed someone, or logged in.

Internet anonymity can be important, but doesn't trump life and death safety or criminal reporting.

Another regular rarely to be found, and not for a long time.

Go into profile, the information about last visit is there.

In the left hand column, there is the line "Last activity" written in bold font.

We need "standards of responsibility" here.

Members of a group responsible to the group audience.

The reason I'm particularly worried about Hash is that he was very specifically right in the middle of chopping off his penis and having some trouble controlling the bleeding in his last postings.

While I generally wonder about anyone who might be missing, Hash in particular was prolifically posting on same threads as I and right in the middle of a dangerous activity when all posts (and last login) stopped completely.

I seriously doubt that anyone who is reasonably healthy to start with would die from having their penis cut off. I know of someone who banded and then cut his penis off and then had the band slide off. They were able to hold pressure and stop the bleeding. They went to sleep and the next morning decided to go the ER and have things sutured up properly. There have been numerous other accounts of guys loosing their penises and surviving. Hash was pretty well prepared and had a good supply of WounsSeal and sutures on hand. As long as he remained conscious, I'm sure he would be able to control the bleeding long enough to get medical attention.

I am trying to be optimistic and hoping to see him show up again one of these days. I certainly miss chatting with him also!

The question of whether someone is alive or not is not usually considered a private matter. If he is in a psych ward, on vacation, or sitting depressed in his basement, that's not necessarily any of our business. It sounds, however, like no one here actually knows him well enough to find out either way. We shall have to wait and hope for the best.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls.

It tolls for thee.....

-It matters how is Hash. Yes he needs privacy, and probably many things too.

That he is one of us, is the the important thing.

His wellbeing seems unknown and there seems to be good cause to doubt that all is well.

I don't like the idea of giving up on anyone.

If he is genuinely unknown to any here and is wholly unreachable by any means, there may be not be many options.

-But we thought a prayer would not go amiss, whatever else.

Prayer we can do daifu-orchid. Whatever you believe ii ain't a bad idea!
