Even knowing I'll be attacked for this, I'm calling it BS. I saw this with the fake attempt to make the posts sound like the person was "slurring" his words, and talking about feeling good. When a person attempts to write or type when the brain is deprived of oxygen, it is nothing like this at all. Nothing. I've seen the real deal countless times with people undergoing pilot training when they are in the hyperbaric chamber.
Yes, it was. And it was clear even before he was spotted online. His posts after he allegedly took SN were complete bullshit, even the detail suggesting he had lost sense of time. Clumsy attempt, completely faked, and deeply abhorrent.
This is not a scam thing for selling a product, as there's nothing in SN for profit. It was, purely and simply, attention seeking behavior. That's not good, but it happens on a forum like this.
The real, and very serious harm, is in how many people reading this now see SN as a peaceful elixir of death. None of the lethal salts are this.
Mods, this is not an unavoidable but essentially harmless problem. It is appalling that it is allowed on an open forum seen by vulnerable people. We're not talking about whether you guys are legally protected by having the site set up in HK or wherever. It is about the toxic, uncontrolled and unconscionable publishing of harmful and abhorrent material that misleads vulnerable people about a way to achieve a peaceful death.
