You don't know who might read this type of thing. How would you feel if a person who read what you wrote had been saving pills--and had just saved enough to kill themselves? Or, has been scoping out the neighborhood bridge to see just how high it is? You don't know if that person--Any person who sees your comment--is on the very edge of doing something irrevocable. And your comment could easily be the final push over that edge.

There are many people online who have a serious disease of the depressive spectrum. These people are usually bright and talkative, and can be very entertaining. They can also be suicidal in such a way that no one will be able to tell that is how they feel--until it's too late. People who don't have one of these diseases can't understand Suicidal Ideation. It's not just thinking about suicide--the full-blown idea and compulsion can come over them in an instant.

Are you going to say, "Well, I didn't KNOW they were sick", or "It was Just a JOKE." That hardly seems like it will be of comfort to their families (I know it wasn't to mine).

I'm not the speech police; say what you will. But, after reading this I hope you will--at least--think twice before using imagery online which might cause never ending heartache and pain to the family of a person who just happened to read one of your very clever jokes online.
