Have you ever given an unsympathic answer to someone regarding suicide and then?
And then heard on the news how someone shoots a bunch of people and then kills himself? I only ask this because a couple of days ago I had responded to someone asking about suicide and was reading the other answers. I take all suicidal talk seriously but saw one response that was so rude I couldn't believe it. They called this person many names and told them to just go ahead and do it. The next day, all over the news, is a story about a gunman in Nebraska walking into a mall and killing about 8 people and then killing himself. Also in the area where I live there was a teenager that killed herself because of what some other people were saying to her on myspace. Do you think that people should take suicidal questions more seriously on answers? And if someone gives a hateful and mean response to these questions should they be suspended from answers?

my abusive ex-boyfriend in high school used to do that, but not on-line. he had issues. he thought any un-happy ppl were "stupid" or "manipulating" him. i think he was a little bit of a sociopath.
he was not born that way, but ... anything that made him feel anything like human connection or sympathy was "manipulative" and he fought against it, partly by driving crazy ppl over the edge just to prove that HE was strong.
his 2nd girlfriend (after me) killed herself. he went to her funeral.

The only thing we can really do it report them and hope that the answer will be removed. We really aren't equipped here to deal with this type of situation and the results that will happen from it.
