Accepting death as normal is not the same as being suicidal. I’m intrigued by the large number of people who pop up in these discussions who are clearly either petrified of death or convinced their life should go on forever.

I'm genuinely a little mystified why saying I think someone is not well and wishing that they get better is a personal attack. I'll refrain from the subject in the future to be safe.

Bluntly telling someone that they are suicidal in the middle of an internet argument is extremely presumptuous and provocative (note the response it generated - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34500950 - this was predictable). Tacking on words that sound like well-wishes in this already hostile context comes across as sarcastic.

Bit of false equivilance coupled with shallow less than ankle deep rush to judgement there.

What a shallow, and insulting dismissal. Have a good day.
