Could it be that he was, in his blunt gruff way, trying to tell her that she is not to blame?

I didn't mean to be blunt and gruff, if it came out that way then I apologize.

But I still stand on that suicide is an of selfishness. The hurt it causes to people left behind is immeasurable, as shown on this thread.

It's true. And in each case, you can see that selfishness, expressed as a stubbornness, while the person was alive, if you look closely.

Dane, BTW, I meant to thank you for being a pretty good guy the other day. You made some snide remark, then apologized when you say I was going activist on the topic. That was pretty cool. If you reached into the part of your soul that made you do that, and repeated that sort of behavior, a lot of my objections to you would vanish. I hope you know that this is meant constructively, and to help you.

And my thanks are genuine as well.

YOu don't have to apologize to me - I understood what you were trying to say, and I have no hard feelings towards ya - at least not on this topic ;0)

I know what you were feeling and trying to say. I really didn't see the problem with you expressing your opinions about suicide. Your opinions are as valid as anyone's. Please don't let a few shut you down.
