I think when discussing self injury, you should tread lightly. It is a very serious topic- in my opinion as serious as suicide, therefore, we should encourage discussing reasons not to start, other methods for coping with emotional pain, and ways to stop if you have already started. However, I do think we should keep the SI forum as I- a victim of self mutilation- would like to talk about it. I'm sure others have the same or a similar opinion.
