If you don't believe someone taking there own life is there own responsibility, that is your opinion. Maybe diminished responsibility is another word.
There are alot of varables.
If someone points a gun at someone else and pulls the trigger and kills the other person. Who is responsible for the death? The person who commits murder is responsible are they not?
If someone points a gun at their own head and pulls the trigger who is responsible for there own death? They can only be responsbile for their death can they not?
Of course you can always say the gun is responsible. The tablets they took or alchohol they took an hour before was.
Or you can say no one was or nothing is responsible.
Maybe responsible is the wrong word to use. But if you plan for weeks or even months to kill yourself can then do the action and complete it -then surely you are resonsible. That is a fact, unless you can explain somehow that it isn't?
I really do not know how you can take away or adapt rules to suide with what was being said in the case that if someone comes here suicide and they get blocked, because they broke some obscure rule...
Does she just kill herself now or what?
My answer to this was as best I could answer. Obviously I was not going to say, y** and at the same time its pointless just saying no.
My point was how do we make rules to account for that question? If a suicidal poster firsts posts - do not block her or PBC in case he/she actually commits suicide? You could never enforce that?
In some respects you may not even know just through reading the texts of a poster whether or not they are at such a desparate stage in their life just as in the case take the most happiest looking poster by reading there message and for all you know they might kill themself.
Suicide is a very delicate and sensitive subject, you're a very right and I whole heatly agree with you there. My Grandfather took his own life so I myself am always fully open to the realities of this subject.
Kind regards
