Consider the attitudes we have towards schoolyard or internet bullies when their victims commit suicide. If the people weev harassed had committed suicide, what would you hesitate to blame weev?
Again - the mentality that leads to suicide does not develop in isolation. It is not "weev has picked on me and I am a loser and have no choice or other way out". That may be back-breaking straw, but it's not the underlying issue.
There are a host of contributing factors that can add up to this - so while it's great when we have a face to assign to The Bad Guy in these cases, and it's a perfectly natural response... it's seldom the correct one.
What I think is not debatable, unless you think humans are emotionless automatons who cannot be influenced by the treatment of others (a viewpoint seemingly being espoused by several here), is that bullies can be held partially morally^ accountable for the suicides of their victims.
^ I am not saying legally accountable.
You might not think what Aaron did was morally wrong or deserving of negative repercussions, but others might reasonably disagree.
> You might not think what Aaron did was morally wrong or deserving of negative repercussions, but others might reasonably disagree.
That has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion. Nothing in the slightest. If you think that is what this discussion is about, then I have to wonder what exactly you have been reading.
Either way, I don't think either of us is ever going to convince the other of anything on that score, so it's probably best to agree to disagree on it.
