You wrote,[...Lou, I don't understand you..people (here) are..more likely to commit suicide than NASCAR drivers would be dying..because they had their own forum.

I think that if one interprets Dr. Hsiung's statement in question here as that he means that if suicide ideation is discussed here that there will be a cause and effect situation sponsored here as a result of that, which would cause more people to commit suicide, then that is one interpretation. But I think that there is the potential for the grammatical structure of Dr. Hsiung's statement to mean something different from that, as in my previous post.
But let's suppose a new forum was created here for stamp-collectors, butterfly collectors, bottle collectors, and such. I do not think that there would be more deaths of members here because of the establishment of a forum like that because those hobbies are not considered to be hazzardous. But sky-diving and race-car driving is, according to the insurance industry.
