Possibly. I've requested that my account be closed down a few times before, just to remove the temptation of posting when in a bad frame of mind.
In hindsight I'm glad I was given the chance to reconsider, because as messy and muddled as my contributions can be, I sincerely hold that it is important for people who find themselves drifting off of the social radar to be able to communicate in an empathetic enviroment.
Perhaps, in a virtual sense, this gives us an insight into the instinct for suicide as a statement. There really is no logical reason to delete your account.
Good point, I've never quite considered in those terms but yes, volentary account-deletion is (and I use this phrase with the utmost caution) sort of a 'suicide' of the users virtual indentity.
Is that bad?
