I don't think this is fair. You cannot read a comment, or a bunch of comments, from over 100 days ago in light of the recent suicide. If people make their actions dependant on someone's post on HN, that is the problem, and making the right posts that magically know what will happen in the future, and what happened behind closed doors (such as the district judge basically shutting Aaron up, if I catched that correctly, sorry if I didn't) is not the solution to it. Yes, more love is what the world needs, so in that sense you are right and would be in whatever context you said the above, and maybe I am just contradicting you because I often am a callous SOB online. But still.. this isn't fair. Yes, he asked for help, but every single US citizen pays taxes for the reason he asked for help. So if you're gonna play the blame game, play it and see where it actually leads, don't just stop at convenient scapegoats like Ed. I cannot speak for Aaron, but it does seem to me that he was scared of jail or worse; he didn't kill himself to hurt anyone, so maybe don't use it that way. There is no way to make sense of all this, but there are ways to make good come of it.. I would do that just to spite someone who killed themselves out of revenge, but how much more so when they didn't. That is all, I feel weird even speaking to this, but I hope it helped.
