Dane was using a strawman "Freepers think suicide is noble thing" and every post on this thread Dane kept thrashing that strawman around like he's Stone Cold Steve Martin. He also used the fallact of "false dichotomy"--either suicide is a noble act or the act of a selfish coward.

I doubt she was under the false impression that her husband's suicide was a noble act----I seriously doubt Mrs. Chris "needed to hear" that her husband was a coward.

Hey I can accept cold and logical, but Dane was cold and illogical.
You can't expect me to go against my own screenname, can you?

I am not commenting on any of his other posts, but only the one he posted directly to the widow. THere was nothing wrong with what he posted in that particular post. There wasn't even any "strawman argument" in that particular post. None at all.

I don't condemn or defend any of his other posts, but the one he posted to the widow was not as bad as people make it out to be.

Also, in the post I was speaking of, I see nowhere in which he told her that her husband was a coward - selfish, yes, a coward, no....

Impossible - you mean the same Dane who has the hackneyed, tired, and unfounded mindset that professes "support the mindless WOD 110%, or you're a crankhead reprobate who shall burn in the Pits of Hell"?
