Just my personal opinion, I’ve been thinking about this thread ... I haven’t deleted my account but can imagine that someone in extreme distress may well struggle to pm all their friends ... and then some friends might not be told, not out of lack of care, but again someone in extreme distress may make a mistake. So it isn’t a perfect solution to simply pm friends, in my opinion. Far from perfect.

If I were to delete my account.... well there are many many people here I care about ..

And I’m not going to delete my account, I find for me “taking a break” and if necessary messaging a few people to tell them works.

I doubt if any of us can avoid unintentionally triggering anyone at all during our membership here. . If only it was a perfect world..

I hope this makes sense.
