I am intrigued by your concept and would like more information on investing in your satellite TV channel.
I’m pretty sure I have. At least, I’m sure that I’ve never said I wasn’t going to post again in a thread and then posted again in that thread. I’m just not certain it’s ever happened in the Pit.
I have. It went on for 21 more posts, none of them mine.
I’ve never publicly abandoned one of my own threads, though.
No offense, honestly, but quite frankly, anyone who would disown a family member for seeking treatment for depression doesn’t deserve to have a relationship.
I understand how you feel, but I have to say, your relatives are assholes, if that’s the case. 
I quit a Pit thread that I started at post #46, and it went on for 96 more posts without me.
I came to Valteron’s posts on suicide willing to discuss the topic. I’m not closed-minded about suicide as a rational option. The worst pain I’ve ever had was mental anguish caused by being given the wrong medication. And I’ve had physical pain bad enough that I would have chosen death if I had not known that I would get better.
When Valteron can stop bludgeoning all of us “assholes,” long enough to realize that some of us can hear him, maybe we can talk about it.
I don’t like seeing him ridiculed either and I’m sorry for my part in it. But it’s almost a natural reaction to anyone so seemingly hostile.
His posts elsewhere seem controlled and intelligent.
For those who need help psychiatrically and can’t afford it, sometimes universities with medical schools provide very, very inexpensive assistance.
If you are depressed and suicidal, you can’t afford not to go to the emergency room to see a doctor.
