They found a post of her saying she admires and envies "very young people", aka children, who commited suicide. Whatever you think of these kinds of posts, If this rhetoric is allowed to continue, there will be more and more voyeuristic articles and youtube videos in the near future framing this site as a 'death cult' until noone feels safe posting here any longer.
There is no way her posts would have ever reached that level in the first place if she got clear warnings from the mods for her escapades.
you know, i feel that there
should be a forum for openly and honestly talking about suicide. a place that neither endorses nor rejects the idea of killing oneself -- but in practice i honestly think that'd be extremely difficult to achieve. there are rabid pro-life, "life is inherently good" people who can't tolerate dissent and rabid life-sucking dementors out there who thrive off the misery of others and who may directly or indirectly tip the scales in death's favor.
i've read numerous times that
this forum is that vaunted place of neutrality and honest debate, and to some extent it may be, but you'd be hard-pressed to deny that neutrality and honesty and good critical thinking will and do get tainted when the predominant belief system here is that life is misery and you can't escape misery except thru death. i guess suicidal people are more attuned to that kind of perspective, because of depression and other mental health problems. but for those people to whom suicide is a calculated, necessary and inevitable step i think we could do better than the atmosphere that surrounds this place.
should people's beliefs be policed? no. should dementors be banned? absolutely not. but as long as they and other heavily depressed people are an overrepresented majority here, i think the very notion of open and honest discussion goes out the window. fucked if you do, fucked if you don't.
the way i see things, this is sometimes less of a forum about suicide and more of an anti-recovery depression forum.
edit 2: for what it's worth, i agree with a KF commenter who said methods should be restricted to sites and not forums, e.g. Lostallhope. that way we lose the murderous allure that seems to be dogging the forum's reputation
