Thanks.

I may have responded to this already - forgive an old woman. Thank you so much for making me feel safer. I, personally, do bare my soul on this site (I have nowhere else to go) and hate the thought that there are idiot lookie loos reviewing my private thoughts. Muchas Gracias!!

Even although I have very few posts and interactions here: for what my opinion therefore is worth excellent move and idea. Probably should have been implemented a long time ago. If not for any other reason than that it stops search engines from indexing the site and the text contained in individual posts and threads. So there's an added benefit given the current shit show going on with this NYT article and ft26 and which has incensed me no end. Been silent on the matter until I've calmed down for fear of totally losing my shit about this and who knows where that could lead to (I've hunch it wouldn't be a good thing). Few things in life have gotten under my skin as has this sanctimonious interference with this site (and unlike the original owners or moderators I'm not quite as accepting of nor empathetic to their cause and motives for reasons which I'm sure, knowing me only too well, it'll be a stretch for me to remain silent about this shit).

I mean to say you have to love the NYT double-standards

A 3-D Printed Pod Inflames the Assisted Suicide Debate (Published 2021)

The pod, known as Sarco, was conceived as a way for people to end their lives without involving a doctor. A plan to introduce it in Switzerland has raised alarm even among right-to-die advocates.

tinyurl.com

But then I guess that was big news and therefore generates views and the resultant ad. or subscription revenue.

If's an entire article on the Sarco. in none other than the NYT dated 16 Dec. 2021 (as opposed to the offending article about SS which was published on 9 Dec 2021) So lemme get this straight, they trash this site on 9 December and then 7 days later they're publixhing an article on the Sarco. machine. These people are living in an alternate reality or certainly don't understand. People don't come to this site and ONLY then become suicidal. If anything I submit that the article on the machine could very easily have swayed anybody sitting on the fence. So how come they're not being taken to task. It would make my day if somebody saw the Sarco article and went ahead and family members could prove that it was the Sarco.. article that that acted as the catalyst for a suicide and the NYT got their asses sued off. Wonder if that'd make the headlines.

And what perplexes me and annoys me even more; in each and every case cited there were known mental health issues. My point being that you don't go straight from depression and mental health issues to being suicidal. There's plenty of warning signs along the way e.g. obvious behavioural changes and mood changes (ask me how I know) so there's more than a few that were sleeping at the wheel seems to me but of course it's easier to blame a site such as this than accept responsibility for your own shortcomings and failures.

And the journalists could have saved themselves a good deal of time and effort in the 9 December article about SS. All they needed to do was copy and paste the text from ft26's website (mind you: if you compare the article to said website maybe that's what they did do and went from there) (which makes it pretty obvious as to who instigated this shit show I'd say). And curiously: the proposed amendments to Section 230 have absolutely fuck all to do with suicide i.e. the proposed changes are wide reaching and opens doors to civil suits for compensation no? Hmmnnn... I wonder (but that's just me of course).

So much for keeping my trap shut. What can I say. Once I got started it just flowed.

Unless I'm misunderstanding ththreadon access change:

I can tell you that the forums are clearly and easily accessible still. Just checked. Logged out and cleared each and every possible temporary file and cache and came back to the site and without logging in and can clearly read each and every post here Including mine above just posted.

Even the BBC (British Broadcasting Corp on www.bbc.co.uk) covered the Sarco in Dec 21

There ain't much difference between BBC and NYT.

A member I knew well told me the fixers took a photo of my avatar and posted my comment on their twitter account. This was January. Just found out a couple of weeks ago. I literally dropped my phone, isn't there a law to prevent that woman from using our avatars and comments without telling someone that's illegal. She didn't have my permission for that.

This is so wrong. Sorry.

This is an invasion of privacy. Nobody should be treated this way. Certainly not a lovely person like you.

Thank you for your kind words, unfortunately i don't have a twitter account or I would report her for using my avatar without permission. Many in the past made alter ego accounts so we could make peace, they were treated like crap like her. It hurled me to see all my colleagues being attacked when they were being nothing but polite, now we just don't care. Let her pretend she's a senator. Living in the spotlight because of a tragic event that's what it seems she is doing,

Yes. Leave them to it. I look forward to your posts on here and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I hope you have a good day.

Trying to make me blush. Thank you once again a big hug to you .

Do you think it will make more people prying for the wrong reasons sign up? It could be the opposite though and help privacy after all though hmm

There is a group petitioning to have us shut down, so I guess we better be damn careful
and sneaky to keep things going. Security is paramount.

I am grateful for this forum

 

[OnlyOneSolution]

I am a bit confused about the controversy. I have read a lot of expressions on this site that would be made in any T office. I don't talk about the things I write to anyone in my daily life because they can't understand. But I am not ashamed of anything I've written.

As for methods...I really have not found any information that suddenly opened the door to CTB. It is not like the Anarchist Cookbook. There are no plots afoot and the input is more cathartic than instrumental in death.

People are just meddlesome. We get by everyday longing to CTB. Others get by everyday thinking they make a difference, even when it is none of their business.

I also support this decision so many posts here detailing the intimate lives of others that no one would want others especially like coworkers or family to know about.

Does anyone have a link to the article? I cant find it.

This announcement was from 2021 when the site was made private temporarily. It is now a public forum, except the private section, so be mindful of what you post.
