I applaud your efforts to remove this account from Substack posthumously. Clearly, this person was exceptionally mentally ill, and the whole situation is beyond sad.

That was my thought as well,Kate. The poor man must have had a serious mental illness.

Liz Gaufreau: TOTALLY!

But another ("Ponzi" something) HOSTED the suicide note!

I want Substack to remove THIS HOST.

I wasn't sure if the "manifesto" was real or somebody's idea of a sck parody.

Liz Gauffreau: You raise a good point. A really good point.

In my law school youth, it became axiomatic: The Law cannot read the subjective intent of an individual, but can only judge the objective intent as shown by the actions of the parties.

Your theory is possible.

In either case, my attack is against the "Ponzi" host. The same argument prevails for taking down the conspiracy site. (I looked at "Ponzi's" other postings. A lot of weird, conspiracy theories.)

I agree. Conspiracy sites have done too much damage already.
