Andre Nel attempts suicide

OK

Report Scaly's post to moderators as I find it distasteful in the extreme and a very poor reflection on the site

A moderate opinion expressed with the appropriate degree of uncertainty. Oh noes. Clearly not extreme enough for social I'd guess given his posting in match threads.

Mock outrage ftw.

Scaly, as I said to social, don't attack other posters like this. This thread is not the place for it.

I know the matter is sensitive at the moment,but Scaly's comment should be taken in the light that attempted Suicide is a crime in many countries and considered a cowardly act by the Majority.
Don't agree with the no sympathies part though.

Best wishes to him for a recovery most importantly and hope he gets himself sorted psychologically.

Hmm. Are you or Scaly considering the fact that the majority of people who attempt suicide are mentally ill? To call them cowardly is very insensitive...his entire post is pretty disgusting...

Wow.

I find some of the posts in here pretty disgusting to be honest.

Hope Nel sorts out whatever he's going through as well.

I agree that for the most part we should avoid passing judgement on something none of us are connected to, though I can't help but feel more sorry for the lady than Nel.

I just hope the whole thing sorts out somehow.

Some staggeringly dire posts in this thread. CW being dragged to new depths. A real pity.

It doesn't say anywhere that he is or was suffering from mental illness in the report. On the very limited information given it seems like he betrayed his supposed loved one then when this was exposed he made an even worse decision which only heaps more hurt on them.

Obviously the guy is hurting himself, but at the end of the day he has only himself to blame. Can see why people might not have much sympathy for the guy.

You just said what I felt :(

SJS has already said this a few days back in some other thread.

Anyways, may Nel's private life become smooth and happy...and his wife's too...together or not.

This is unreal. I cannot understand people having no sympathy for someone who is feeling so low that they are trying to kill themselves!

I don't care what they have done to irritate some fans, or hurt their family, they have attempted suicide, i have the utmost sympathy for anyone who feels like that.

If Tiger Woods can get over the **** he did then so should Nel. Move on mate....you are the only one to be blamed for the **** you did so no point leaving your wife and to be kids (unless i read it wrong) hanging in the middle.
