That is true, but regardless, egging someone on who appears to be on the edge of suicide is simply inhuman.
Unless people here are parto f the community and new the guy (it seems he cried wolf several times) you cant really pass judgement on what was said (except in some of the cases...).
I also see (in the threads cache) people telling him it was a bad idea. I really doubt he was listening to any of them anyway....
