Go manly said:This carney stuff is disturbing me.Forget for the moment what punishment or what considerations or lattitude should be given to carney.Because Fu.... if I realy know.
Rightly or wrongly,I feel uneasy about the attention it is attracting
Not long ago,we had a thread about depression,mental health and what pressures are placed on people regarding expectations.We noted this with a warning of containing heavy content.
Much of these expectations real or perceived can have a real impact on individuals and those around them.
I am a real novice with social media and forums such as this but do read enough about how people feel harrassed or even bullied or discriminated against on social media or forums such our great site where we can share stories of the mighty manly warringah sea eagles.
However,I can't even imagine the feeling of despair,helplessnes of having an act like this exposed(when it was not meant to be)and joked about,ridiculled and commented on by millions of people.
I too,laughed at the jokes but now have a feeling of concern for the man.
I know it can't be supressed but ...,Imagine his mum,familly and the man himself.I just know what it is like to stuff up bigtime and just wonder how the fu-- did that happen
I reckon that there have been many people who have behaved or acted in a manner at times when they thought no one was looking that would be embarrising if it became public.
I even sugest that in the confines of dressing sheds and mad mondays before the digital world came to town that similar or equally embarrsing antics would have gone down hidden in the sanctions of teamship.Race days,Bucks and hens nights are notorious for poor social behaviour
Again,really divided in my own mind on sacking or not but do not think we have put enough work in understanding why did he feel that he had to skylark like that in front of a friend.I would bet that he was not the first and that the shot would have been shared by others who had done the same thing.snort the salt and lemon in the eye party trick.
ANY ONE HEARD OF SWORD FIGHTS LADS.USED TO HAPPEN REGULARY ON THE SGC HILL Just never captured on camera.
I hope that he finds the help he needs and can some how realise his talents and put them to good use.
I agree with you regarding him needing help.
He was interviewed by Weedler (on Nein) and he was quite unrepentant and lacking in insight, at that stage at least.
His attitude was it was no big deal, the negative attention didn't bother him much (he was a stronger person than that...). And he even said he didn't think he would be sacked if not for Steve Noyce's agenda against him.
The first step in getting the necessary help you need, is admitting there's a problem in the first place.
