> I've said elsewhere that: The online ventilation of suicidal ideation can be an important part of suicide prevention, and the expression of suicidal thoughts and feelings is not prohibited here. This may enable suicidal posters to receive more effective support, but there are trade-offs: it may also be stressful for other members, attract suicidal posters (and thereby increase the incidence of suicide in the group), and make the group more vulnerable to false reports.Let me get this straight....someone talking about suicide here can be given support and may change their mind, but the "trade-off" is that it can increase the incidence of suicide in the group...hmmmm....so save 1 and maybe lose more than that....is this trade-off worth it Dr. Bob?????
