As Irene (Morrigan) said, developing a detachment seems to happen and it really helps. Sadly, most people also end up assuming most people aren't in the state they claim their in or are exaggerating or lying. Cynical.
But, really, at least letting us (the chat mods) know of these people and what they're doing, especially if there is some sort of a pattern to their behavior, helps us try to curb their behavior. We want people to get support but we do not want it to happen at the expense of those trying to support the person.
Be careful with getting emotionally involved. Distance is something that is needed to maintain your personal safety.
