It's 8:22 PM PST, on the evening of July 5th, 2016 when I started writing this message. I'm on the verge of hyperventilating and possibly shaking.
I've spent four hours on the Plants vs. Zombies wiki, where users are currently engaged in a very tense issue right now. One that could potentially kill someone if it doesn't work out in our favor.
Because we're dealing with a suicidal moderator who's dug himself so deep a hole we literally cannot get to him.
Seriously. We've tried all viable forms of anti-suicide advice (before referring to the resources) and it hasn't worked. Every time, he goes back to the same thing, the root cause of the situation: a mere block after he snapped for a bit and ranted at another user for talking behind his back, and continues to fight with the user and openly talks about killing himself. (From analyzing his messages, I can tell he's dangerously close to accomplishing this. He's within 100 paces of any potentially lethal object like a meat cleaver right now.) And every time I tell him how much I care about him and how I want to wish away the person causing his trauma as much as he does, it's almost as if he ignores potentially vital words of caring, by not responding...
I'm seriously considering referring him to /r/SuicideWatch. It's simply the last thing we can do now that everything has proven so hopeless.
I just want this to end peacefully. It's starting to weigh me down more than I expected. I'm so scared...
