If someone is seriously suicidal, the last place they need to be asking for help is an internet bulletin board. I mean come on, these kinds of places are not set up to help the seriously mentally ill. Those kind of "I want to end it all" posts should be discouraged strongly. There's nothing a babble poster can do for someone who writes that kind of suicidal post except to worry about them, and that puts trauma on the other members. I'm wondering if some posts are missing here, because I've tried to read through them all, but I'm missing the problem that is making everyone so angry. If the question is "shouldn't these type of posts be banned from a bulletin board" I think the answer can only be yes. If you are suicidal, you really shouldn't be coming to a bulletin board for help.
