I agree entirely.

Starting with the basics, almost everyone here would have experienced some amount of trauma and will have triggers. Combined with the diversity of the community, disagreements are unavoidable. What has kept the community functional is an underlying solidarity.

Challenges are everywhere. Some people have expressed that they rely on humour to cope, while others find all humour in this context inappropriate. We have suicidal parents agonising over possibly leaving their children, and we have vociferous anti-natalists. There are those struggling to stay alive despite suicidal impulses, while others push philosophical outlooks by which CTB is the only legitimate solution to the difficult nature of life.

Right now, I feel that the best advice is to tone down the in-fighting across the board. One of the blessings of age and maturity is that it becomes clearer exactly who has originally caused one's life to spiral into darkness. It may be a particular abuser in childhood, or a health issue, or a cluster of factors. Chances are that it is not anyone from this community. When this is clear, the drive to lash out at our own people will diminish.

It does complicate things somewhat when we also need to agree on a definition of acceptable behaviour. If tolerance and 'free speech' is taken to extremes, that gives a free pass to highly destructive energies that may seek to dominate the culture and cull the diversity of the forum for their own sake. And yet, too far the other way and we are repressing the expression of people who are here in good faith.

I do believe that the unfortunate reality is that nowhere offers relief from the cruelty of humans in this world, where ever there are humans there is the potential for harm to be inflicted onto others and this will likely never change. The fact is that humans are responsible for so much of the suffering that continues to exist in this world, and hearing about how people behave and treat others does make the thought of non existence sound so incredibly appealing.

In this world there is far too much unnecessary torment and this really is tragic, especially as more desirable suicide method options get restricted and life is seen as something to be prolonged at all costs. Life itself will always be the true problem to me and perfection could only lie in the absence of everything where all the things that this existence has burdened us with are long forgotten about.
