2) you are wrong, and all the negative "trying to be shocking, and edgy" comments could actually push someone toward doing something stupid like killing themselves. And the positive comments are pushing them to talking to a professional or talking them out of doing it this time.

If 1 is right, who cares. it's stupid to mess with people's emotions either way, but the best case scenario is a few cheap laughs and the worse case scenario is someone is an ass.

however if 2 is right, then best case scenario is our responses could actually help someone get real help, better than on this board and worst case scenario, someone on the fence about a life altering decision with limited options gets talked into pulling that trigger, or swallowing that pill.

The reason why I say this is because a person close to committed suicide, without warning and the only thing that truly revealed their feelings was the note they left. If someone wants to commit suicide they're not going to be talked out of it.
