On Thursday, the user 'lovemykids' posted a farewell thread in the main forum, detailing his impending passing from N ingestion. I didn't see this play out in real time, l woke up to see it a few hours after the event. Like most people here, l was genuinely affected it by it. I'd interacted with LMK previously, not long after he'd acquired his N, and it was clear he was having difficulty summoning the required courage. I remember assuring him that this was natural and he shouldn't rush into it if he wasn't ready. When l then saw his goodbye thread, a thread which differed from most in that he actually went out of his way to live blog events as the N took hold, l was moved by not only his determination and courage, but by his decision to relay it back to this little online community, which took some strength of character. For any of us looking towards N as a method, this thread would be truly inspirational. I certainly found it to be so, given lovemykids' apparent bravery. As someone in the thread wrote, it was a "surreal" read, but one l knew I'd go back to whenever l needed to find courage of my own. That thread is here:

Later that day, a user called Spartacus registered. His first post was in that thread. A peculiar debut post, certainly, and was followed up with other posts mainly around the testing of N - LMK was regularly posting about sampling N as a test, and now Spartacus was posting the same thing. They also shared the same idiosyncratic posting style; typing in staccato lines rather than a body of text, abandoning most punctuation, use of "u" instead of "you", and more besides. A quick glance at their respective messages suggested they were identical voices.
Being deeply affected by his farewell thread, l shared these concerns with a couple of other users, and was advised to report to admin. I did so, and it's not for me to speak on their behalf but you will notice the thread is now locked.
I can assure you it gives me absolutely zero pleasure in posting this, but l fear this forum has been misled and manipulated in a very damaging way by this particular user, who faked a live-blogging of an apparently peaceful and affecting passing only to re-register a few hours later. Attempting and failing is fine, I've failed several times, yet it's to the credit of this forum and those who use it that this community is never anything other than supportive of its members, however l felt it was important that l share my concerns about this now before LMK's apparently peaceful passing, with its associated courage, determination and strength of character of the individual, became some piece of legend when it is apparent to me that this is clearly not the reality.
I suspect I may be given the hard ban for this. If so, peace to you all.
