"It is possible that I would make the connection in my mind that my jerkish behavior may have been a factor in this person’s decision to commit suicide, or it may not have been. In either case, the only thing I am guilty of is behaving as a jerk."

If we cannot engage in an activity because of how others may potentially respond to it, then as I said before, prepare my solitary cell, none of us will be free.
