In regards to the forums, I think there is a no-suicidal postings for two reasons: 1) it helps stop this site from becoming one used for suicide pacts, and 2) it's a safe haven for a lot of people, and while we all try to support each other, it's fairly widely accepted that when suicide affects a community it's more likely to trigger that response in others, so preventing it here is working as a trigger-prevention for others.

In most other areas? I think it is ridiculous that when we are feeling suicidal society makes us feel like we can't speak about it unless it's with a professional or a volunteer. I think it's like that because a lot of people simply don't know how to process it.
