This is incredibly insulting. How could you possibly know this?

  Because depressed, suicidal people kill themselves, usually when they're not facing prison? In 2007 Schwartz posted what was believed to be a suicide note after being fired from reddit: http://digitaljournal.com/article/341150 http://digitaljournal.com/article/341150

    You could have easily said "I don't know that for sure" instead of posting irrelevant information.

    Right.. but people tend to become depressed and suicidal when faced with prison time. Being fired is also high on the depression list. You're pointing out two dark moments in someones life. I've had far more than two and I don't by any means consider myself depressed.

      > I've had far more than two and I don't by any means consider myself depressed. That's actually the point... it is depression that kills, not merely subjecting someone to a "dark moment" in their life. We wouldn't have blamed Alexis and the rest of Team Reddit if Aaron had killed himself after being fired, we would have blamed his depression.
