Do We Have a Responsibility?

[Part Time James]

When somebody joins an online debate, who is clearly so mentally ill that they may be dangerous to themselves or others, do we have a responsibility to intervene?

Are we complicit in their breakdown, or their forthcoming rampage with a homemade weapon if we do nothing? Or if we bait them? Or if we coddle them and support their human right to lunacy?

What could we even do?

I sometimes feel guilty. Should we help and would they even welcome help?

Discuss.

Think of a picnic, then leave out one sandwich.

I've got a bit flakey as I've got older. More of a 99 man nowadays

Was never keen on the view.

As long as you don't flake out

EDIT: I reread this and realised you had already made this joke. I am such a wally.
