This is so *hard* to do properly- I understand both Kid A and Dr Bob's positions..
Is there *any* way round it? If PSB is too controversial, howabout having 'remembering sar' as a link from the PB2000 board (if she joined then)to a page on PBO containing bookmarks to the memorial messages. That board is unlikely to be the first stop for the new to the boards and suicidal, if that is a problem? But it would at least mean something on the boards. And some relevance to PB2000 in its role of catching up on what happened to posters.
Is this really the same sort of thing as newspaper reporting which can lead to 'suicide contagion'? Ok, it shows people kill themselves, but dont suicidal people know that already? It also shows just how much distress is caused to those left behind. This could be seen as useful in suicide *prevention* as its real proof of this factor, which is often used in trying to get suicidal people to reconsider?But I really dont know if there will be a solution to this. I hope there will be.
I asked in a post ages ago if this has happened before? If so, what was decided then? I can see it is probably more likely to be the case that we wouldnt actually know a poster had killed themselves, so it may not have happened like this before.
I hope I havent upset anyone with this post- I really dont want to, and respect the distress.
