Gah! Access to his site just got “cut off” here. Someone please link or pass on this message (or tell me his email):
That had me really scared this morning, Chris. Please don’t go through with it. I’m sure you can overcome whatever is bringing you down.
Do you still live in Texas? If so, I’m glad to find another LWer in the state! Shoot me an email (sbarta@gmail.com) or contact me on the LW forum. If you live somewhat nearby (I’m in Waco), I’d like to meet you in person.
Don’t know him, but he lives in Texas.
Awesome! Another LW Texan, who also lives in the middle of nowhere! I think we can finally have a Texas meetup, now that we know he’s alive!
You seem to be kidding, but that might actually be a good idea if you can arrange it. He seems to still be actively planning to kill himself.
Edit: Came off as unintentionally insulting to Silas. Reworded to not be.

Edit: I will also PM this to him on LW.
Good point. I do want to have a Texas meetup, but didn’t realize until afterward I was probably being too flippant about this matter.
I will do as you’ve suggested.
Its been a few days. Did you succeed?
Unfortunately, no. I haven’t gotten a reply from him in any of those venues, and he deleted the follow-up post and discussion thread :-(
“Flippant” was harsher than I intended, sorry. I edited the original.
Great that you’re doing this though!
Don’t be so hard on yourself—“flippant” was accurate, and you were right to call me on it.
