I've got to agree with Emmy.

Doesn't it seem exploitative to you? To use the words of someone who is not here to object? And to profit from a tragedy and from the grief resulting from a tragedy?

If it really is a topic that needs to be addressed for the greater good of mankind, couldn't it be done in a way that doesn't use sar's words or the words of those who loved her? And it's not really something that is generalizable anyway. I think it would be faulty thinking to conclude that what happened with sar was generalizable. It wasn't a "suicide in an online community", it was the suicide of *sar* in a community that had grown to have a unique relationship with *sar*. There is absolutely no reason to believe that the suicide of another member of this group would receive the same reaction, and even less to assume that a suicide in a different setting would receive a comparable reaction.

Isn't it nearly impossible to draw any conclusions from *one* event?

I'm a bit disappointed in you, Dr. Bob.
