Thank you. I was just getting ready to post similar sentiments, but you did so much more eloquently than I could have. Of couse we have rights of free speech, this is a public forum, etc. But good Lord, can't people VOLUNTARILY stifle their "rights" just for a little while and show some compassion?

Cry me a river. This wasn't a thread about TILH, but a thread about Depression/Suicide - and is an opinion discussion thread. If you want FReepers to stifle their opinions, for fear of offending someone, then you may be at the wrong site. Maybe there's a touchy-feely PC liberal site out there you can go enjoy.

No, jerkoff. I don't want FReepers to stifle their opinions for fear of offending someone. But I thought as human beings, we could be kinder to someone who is going through hell on earth right now. I really had no problem with this thread until Dane pinged TILC's widow to it. That was just out and out cruelty. And you're just oozing with the milk of human kindness too, aren't you?

While I agree that free speech is not an absolute and sometimes needs to give way to good taste and etiquette, this is also not a completely private forum. It's open to everyone here, and to ask that everyone believe the same thing about the topic of suicide and treat it the same way is asking too much, IMO.
