A painting of me

null terminated from MetaFilter hung himself. His suicide note is well written, heart breaking, and horrific. There is a nice quote in the MetaTalk thread from Rev. John Watson: “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” RIP Bill Zeller.

  1. I searched and searched, but I could not understand why he felt this was his best option. Then I read this:

    “And I have no interest in talking about being raped as a child, both
    because I know it wouldn’t help and because I have no confidence it
    would remain secret.”

    I cannot imagine the difficulty in waging that war.

    I hope he has found peace.

  2. What’s fucked — or one thing that is fucked — is that there is this person walking around right now who so completely destroyed this persons entire life. Literally.

  3. Read this before I started work, to say it’s heartbreaking would be a massive understatement.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
