I'm going to try and be really careful with how I phase my opinion on this. I think there is a difference in typing thoughts of desparation and saying "I wish I could die" and posting "I'm killing myself at 3:00 PM". There are differences in discussion, ideation and threating.
This board is going to have discussions regarding suicide. Such discussions are not banned. They are are on on some boards.
The subject has a long history of much discussion:

Kalamatianos,The current understanding listed in the almighty FAQ states: Please don't...joke about death or suicide, suggest that others harm (or discuss specific ways of harming) themselves or others...http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
I personally do not see her comments in violation of that rule of civility.
Thanks for being concerned about another poster's welfare. That is compassionate of you.
