   My experience with net suicide in the past weeks has made me a
little doubtful as to the purpose of this newsgroup. I was one of the 
ones "censored" by rabbit!bimmler and his sophomoric cohorts, and I 
didn't much like it. I was also among the black-humorist kind of
writers on this net, because it was fun, and there seemed to be
little else that the newsgroup existed for. After the "takeover",
I began to wonder. There really should be a place for people to
write if they are very depressed and thinking about suicide, or
are having problems with suicidal people. A place that is free of 
other trash ( the S/N ratio in the past couple of weeks has been
atrocious ) where the serious people can talk. We black-humor
people might use the |-) on our headers, or leave for net.jokes.
People like rabbit!bimmler ( I over- compliment him with the term)
should just leave entirely, as all they wanted to do was write a lot
of tortured-intellectual bullshit and drool all over one another.
I suggest we create a net.tortured_intellectual for them
to wallow in, and for the rabbit buggerer himself there should 
be a net.takeover - a net for anyone to take over who can. Net
suicide should remain for reasonable use, as a place to deal with
such problems as depression and suicide. A supportive net, not
one filled entirely with stupid people who want to censor.

  Ideas?
