Sodium nitrite was meant for "controlling feral pigs", not for anything involving human suicidals because of how painful and protracted it is. Over half the people who posted goodbye threads while you admit-you-ran-it used sodium nitrite. Over half. Over half during 2021 and before. And that is assuming that you even left, which no proof has been given, and I've only seen counter-evidence, like you literally being the registrant this year. Sodium nitrite was not even close to a common method on the prior subreddit. It's extremely unlikely people just have a sudden self-autonomous desire to use meat curing salts rather than the usual drugs when they just happened to use your server.
You do know that SN was the method of choice promoted in a book that is readily available on
Amazon? The forum discusses the book itself and that's where the method originated from. The book is free to purchase for all and there's no vetting done there. There are also countless other books out there that have suicide methods in them, do you want them banned too?
It's very hard to pin this issue on the forum itself, when members are just using our forum to discuss it.
As for me leaving, I resigned and left the forum in 2021, yet it's almost 2024 and you're still claiming that I run it and that I somehow need to prove that I don't. That's not how that works.

Yes because I am not Robert Whitaker nor do I want to supplant him to "mog" him. He does a fine job, just needs support
If you think you could do a better job, put up or shut up.
Make a mental health community supporting others,
DO something that is actually going to help people instead of chasing shadows. Going after sellers like KL or going after lawful forum owners isn't going to provide you with any fruitful results. If you truly cared about the people on SS, why not assist them in seeking help? Hell, even advocating for Mental Health reform is more fruitful than this.

I haven't been setting anything in motion at any point, but you obviously want credit for the site, hence your million posts to this thread.
Don't forget that you all are the ones that insist that my name is listed beside the website in news articles, despite my request not to do so. You all pushed for the NYT article, which doxxed me and led to me resigning in the first place, and you all still insisted I be included in every article that mentions SS.
I don't get to decide to not be involved anymore, you all forced me to be involved with the site - even though I do not run it and I didn't want my name associated with it.
At this point though I don't see anything really redeeming about most or all your sites.
You haven't built shit, so it's easy to see why you see little value in defending a community that someone built from the ground up and goes against the grain. That actually requires courage and leadership, traits that you do not possess. Nor would you have the balls to defend any communities that you have built and you have and would fold immediately to any pressure.
If the moms are now only blowing steam, then the issue is mostly over and nothing more can be done. Keyword if, I dunno cuz I don't like hanging around either side of this issue as much anymore. The fact that murder charges were launched against someone reportedly associated with SS suggests they are not blowing steam about a lot.
Big whoop, some guy selling poison to people is rightfully charged with crimes that he committed. Good for Law Enforcement I guess. Still doesn't prove why the site is a bad place nor does it warrant a censorship campaign.
