I removed the "suicide" thread for a couple of reasons.
1 - A thread of this nature doesn't belong on this board at all. But since it was posted, in order to not push Dave, it was allowed to stand until he recieved help. After it was noted that he was recieving help, the thread was removed as it was no longer serving any good function.
2 - I think that AFTER he gets help and is moving forward, he doesn't need to see his own "Suicide" thread when he decides to log in and say hello.
As far as sending him help, that wasn't feasible. We have no personal information other than his e-mail addy. Myself and several others spoke with him personally during the crisis, via phone and in chat. That seemed to help him a lot.
I would really like to see this thread go away also for the same reasons listed above. Hopefully you all will read this and move along and allow this one to die off and fade away into deeper pages.
Thanks,
Ken
Ken,
I agree with what you say, my only reason for bringing it up was to ensure that he was getting help. Now that we are sure he is recieving it this post can be deleted if you wish.
