Personally, I have nothing against FC and I agree with other members, that if someone in particular triggers you, it's easy enough to put them on 'ignore'.
I suspect she wasn't banned for venting about life but more so for venting about how the forum ought to be. I'd say there could be just cause there...
Put it this way- when other members are afraid of coming off as too pro-life- it's likely because they don't feel free to express how they really feel.
Of course- this is a pro-choice website. So- anything excessively authoritarian and pro-life won't be welcomed. Still- suggesting therapy or alternative life solutions to a person who is clearly unsure about what they want to do surely isn't unreasonable (unless the OP makes it clear it's not what they want to hear.) Pro-choice ought to be just that- encouraging people to choose for themselves. That can include presenting them with options to recover and live. This isn't supposed to be a pro-suicide site.
But for that person to then read a post on how a long established member hates all this toxic positivity. How the forum has changed so much. How these disgusting pro-lifers are infiltrating everywhere. That's going to make that person feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Ok, FC wouldn't call out people specifically but I suspect most people here are smart enough to read between the lines. They may even modify their language in future to better fit in with the sombre tone. Yes- it may be one member saying this but it's a very prolific poster here.
And yes, she's entitled to her opinion and to express it but- pushing for a public, pro-choice forum to effectively become promortalist is going to receive kickback at some point.
So, I imagine that is the larger reason for the ban. This isn't a promortalist or pro-suicide site. Personally, I prefer it that way. I think choice is so important. So- someone that continually bashes anything remotely positive, anything to do with recovery is basically attacking what this forum is because they want it to be more promortalist pressumably.
Also, from what our mods have said, FC received multiple warnings before the ban. If you're warned for doing something that is against the rules and you continue to do it, I'm not sure what else you expect really.
That all said, I do actually hope she is doing ok. I imagine this would have been a terrific blow to her. Like so many of us, she clearly really values this place even though she may have said she didn't. I do feel terrible for her situation and how she feels but- rules are rules at the end of the day.
For a forum as controversial as this, they are probably the only thing keeping it going! Imagine if there were no rules! Open access to minors, free sharing of sources, no recovery section, a total ban on anything positive- we can now only agree with a person's wish to die. How long do you think the forum would last?!! We kind of need some balance so as not to be a death cult I would argue. Plus, some people genuinly aren't ready to CTB yet. They may well be torn between trying to recover or suicide. They need a space to be able to talk about how they feel too.
Just as those who find FC's views too extreme probably should just put her on 'ignore', she probably ought to have ignored the people she found too 'toxically' positive rather than going after them- all be it in an indirect way.
