I want to give a huge thank you to @SinisterKid our newest Superman moderator.

We sometimes forget our mods are in the same boat as us, wanting to CTB. We also forget that they have feelings, develop friendships and death's hurt them and affect them also.

Sinister suffered 2 deaths recently of people he was close to, the latest being one that he knew would be especially hard on me @Stan.

Sinister signed in this morning and checked in on me immediately. He also wrote that beautiful post on @Stan's goodbye post.

After that, he sent me a PM before he deactivated @Stan's account. I can't imagine what deactivating a friends account is like. When I have to put one of my cats to sleep, I cannot sign the papers. I feel as if I am the one that sanctioned their death and the guilt is unbearable.

Yes, it's his job as mod, but I cannot fathom how difficult it is to deactivate the account of someone you are close to.

@SinisterKid goes beyond the call of duty as a moderator to send many of us a friendly message, just when we need it.

Sinister first came to me with a friendly message after he saw me meltdown when @Stan wrote his drunken quasi goodbye post, and I am glad he hasn't left.

I loved @Stan. Odd how that can happen on a forum where people are coming to die, and the last thing one is looking for is a relationship.

However, this is my life. I am going to find love at the worst time, when there is zero chance of it working out lol. Things happen when one isn't looking.

Sinister knew of my relationship with Stan. He knew this would destroy me. I am prone to impulsive attempts, and truthfully, losing Stan has put me close.

That simple gesture of telling me he would deactivate the account prior to doing so meant more to me than he could know. It is also the reason why I am typing this now and not joining Stan. Not having that warning would have pushed me over the edge.

Stan told me it isn't my time, and he is correct. Sinister kept me here.

Instead of writing a tribute to Stan (which honestly I am not stable enough to do right now), I decide to write a tribute to @SinisterKid.

Thank you to the head honcho of this forum (I apologize I don't know who that is) for making Sinister a moderator.

Most of all, thank you to my Superman @SinisterKid for being there. We are very lucky to have you and you are a bright, shining white light that brightens this horrible planet.

I had already shed a tear or two for Stan today. The nicest and most patient of people. I now know that the longer I am here, the harder it is going to be for me if SS members and admin decide to make their exit. I didn't know this (the emotional bit) was going to happen to me. I thought I was already devoid of feeling. Stan showed me this is not true. I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to take things going forward, as I see people I have got to know just suddenly cease to exist. After Bumble last week and now Stan its like friends are falling around me.

I didn't know @Stan very well, but he did PM me a couple of times when I was upset. He was a very kind and compassionate person. I've been finding myself more affected than usual by his leaving. I am also hoping he found peace and I'm happy his suffering is over. It's always a double edged sword when someone ctb because we miss them, but are happy due to their release from earthly burdens. I think many of us feel this way about @Stan because of his profound impact on this forum.
Again, I send my love and support.

I so understand the devoid of feeling part. Stan showed that to me too.

I am looking at the pain as a good thing. It is normal human behavior to feel pain over the loss of someone you care about. I am now experiencing that pain. It's a good thing. I am now normal and behaving like a normal person does.

Also, because you feel pain, Bumble and Stan's life meant something. They mattered. That is a wonderful legacy to have.

It's a wonderful and sad thing that most of us here can understand, resonate and support each other on this forum while also being reminded the more that we get attached to people here the more sad we would feel when they leave, even when they're a mod on this particular forum.

I was reminded of that a few days ago that someday all the mods and possibly admins would one day leave.

I can't even gather the courage to read his post. I am very sorry for our loss, for his kids loss, I hope they knew the dad they had and appreciated him, but mostly for your loss that surpasses mine by the 1000. Thanks Sinisterkid for your kindness and don't you go anywhere . We need you both

You are a very charismatic writer @Jean. I have just spent the afternoon working on my suicide note, so I'm already very emotional. I came on here and read your beautifully heartfelt posts again, as well as those of @Edward1, @WhyIsLife56, @jgm63, and @MIoureiro. I have tears streaming down my face at this moment. You all seem to have found the words and sentiments that I couldn't find. Thanks to those who mentioned and gave praise and kudos to Sinister Kid. I second all of your posts. This has been a very emotional weekend. I spent yesterday trying to avoid my emotions. Today I was forced to embrace them in order to write my note. I didn't finish it yet, but I got through most of the extremely emotional parts. Thanks to everyone here for keeping me going. :hug: :heart:

I haven't been as active in the last few weeks on here, but I did notice that Sinisterkid did post Stan's guide to (SN) and that is really awesome for him to do that. It will certainly be a useful resource for people who are looking at that method to CTB.

I just had a few private conversations with Stan... just a few days ago... I barely knew him, but he expressed to me how he felt about putting others at risk with their chosen methods. I really liked that about him. He seemed intelligent and obviously cared about other people , and making sure no one else would be hurt in his final act...

May you rest in peace.

Jean4,
Thank you for reposting Stan's goodbye thread here. I read it early this morning, and it already feels like days, but I am grateful to you for keeping his spirit alive today. I hope we can all keep in our hearts the admonition he left us in his thread "I believe we have more in common than what differentiates us." That must be true because we are all here together, in common, remembering Stan who tended to us.

I kept thinking about Stan's children today. My heart aches for them. They'll probably never know how many people he helped before he left.

I knew his name would be crossed out at some point; however, I held onto hope he would stay a little longer. Hopefully we can find comfort in knowing his legacy lives on in this forum.

I didn't know that Stan said his goodbyes as I've taken a break from the forum the last few days.. hope he's finally at peace... I've never interacted with him much, but I'm personally very thankful for the information he has compiled.

Safe travels to those who left, or those who are planning to.

I've been reading this forum for 2 months now and never commented on anything but this has really moved me. Ever since my first day on here I've noticed @Stan's comments everywhere and always paid attention.
His SN guide has helped me order everything I need to CTB and made me feel at peace when I most need it.
As for you @Jean4 thank you for the tribute and the kind words. Just know that it means a lot to people who never ever talked you either of you. I hope you both feel at peace and if I can help it any way at all just PM me. I've lost people in my life so I know how it feels and I'm always here to help. xxx
