Emissary of the right to die.

Hello SS community,

I have enjoyed my time around here since August 2018, however, given the circumstances here as well as many changes over the last two years on here, I have decided that I'm leaving this forum. I will get into that later in this thread. I'm not exactly CTB'ing anytime soon, but sometime in the future (no date, location determined yet). Before I go though, I do want to give my thanks for community being here for those who needed it and find a place to vent. I appreciate my 2+ years of being on this platform as it has allowed me to be 100% honest with my thoughts without the risk of incarceration, harassment, persecution that is prevalent all around the world when it comes to such taboo subjects such as right-to-die, suicide, euthanasia, and more. This community has also provided me with information I needed in order to carry out my self-deliverance along with empathetic support of my decision and right to self-determination from like-minded members. There is no other place in the world or the Internet even that comes close to what we have here. This is like my true home, where I am able to speak my mind without fear or risk of potential life altering consequences such as, but not limited to: Involuntary commitment, involuntary treatment, forced hospitalization, detainment against one's will, and all other undesirable consequences.

With that said, my reasons for leaving are due to the fact that this place has changed so much, such that it is no longer the same as I've experienced years prior, most of the people that I used to be closer to are no longer around either having found peace or recovered and gone about their way, the atmosphere isn't the same as it was during 2018 or most of 2019 and while I stuck around into late 2020 and now 2021, I've decided that it is time for me to go. Finally, I've decided that I've already mentioned all the major points I can when it comes to combating against the anti-choice people and pro-lifers out there, so I would essentially be preaching to the choir here. Most of us here are pro-choicers and those who read my threads and ideas already know my stance. I can be pretty vocal and opinionated, and sometimes not everyone is on the same page, but that is fine too as I don't expect all my ideas to be perfect or flawless. I myself have room for refinement and improvement and nothing is perfect out there.

Finally as I close this letter, I hope all of you will find my ideas, articles, threads, and counter-arguments against pro-lifers, anti-suicide people, suicide-preventionists, and those who oppose our free will, pro-choice position and interests, to be helpful in fighting this cause. If anyone tries to sully, disparage, or misrepresent us, please know that I denounce all pro-lifers, anti-choicers, suicide-preventionists, and all those who seek to take down our platform or our cause. Just as a final remark towards the prolifers: "I, TAW122, despise what you stand for and your actions. This community, SS, has brought me understanding, empathy, peace, and calm even in the most trying times of my life. They have helped me far more than you have. You pro-lifers are nothing more than virtue signalers, oppressors, and tyrants seeking to impose your will upon people like me, who only seek to find peace via self-deliverance. You people will never understand nor choose to understand, so I have nothing but scorn and contempt for you all." If anyone does come across my final manifesto regarding the right to die (which I will release before I CTB), then it can be assumed that I have finally punched my bus ticket and hopped on the bus to the void. Good luck to everyone here and to those who have yet to find peace, I hope all of you will find the peace in whatever decision you decide to make.


With peace,

TAW122

I wish you peace. Its sad to see you leave. I stayed here for a long time and probably will stay longer until I ctb or die. It feels weird because the atmosphere changes all the time.

Thank you very much :hug: :heart:

I'll miss reading your threads and comments, this place is really changing, and your departure will be felt in the community, not many people in here write as good as you. Those threads were so interesting, deeply opinionated and often powerful. even in the rare case where I disagreed with something that you posted, it was still a delight to read through them.

but ultimately, I really hope that you are successful at whatever you choose.

The atmosphere isn't the same? I would have liked them to be more specific. For most people it's a cognitive bias.

I think he just meant that the dynamic of the forum has changed drastically from what he was used to.

I'm slowly being consumed by this feeling as well.

In what way? The only thing I can think of is that suicide discussion has frankly needed subforums for a long time now as people's suicide methods, personal problems, and views on suicide/psychiatry/anti-choicers are all crowded together. I'm mainly interested in the last thing so reading threads on death by cheeseburgers isn't quite on my agenda.

People leaving, the agenda shifting, the paranoia of "pro-lifers".

He mentioned it in his post, people are just leaving, and those people we loved dearly, it's not easy to let go of them especially if they're gone forever.

We never really spoke, but it's been a pleasure to know and see you on the forum. Your well-reasoned opinions were always well-articulated, and I do believe that had we known eachother IRL, we'd have gone along well.

Another of the forum's Old Guard, off to the unknown. Good-speed to you, sir.
