If she killed him, then you would be right, but she didn't kill him. He killed himself.
As an aside, it's pretty ironic how many of you I've seen post about how it's just "words on a screen" and that people need to get a thicker skin and other such things.
Okay, I think there's a major difference between conversations on a message board (where you always have the option of putting me on ignore) and knowingly goading a mentally unstable 17 year old into killing himself.
In fact, I'm reasonably sure that if I did start goading another member into suicide, I would probably get the old ban-hammer put down on me.
If you did tell someone to kill him or herself, and that person did, should you be held criminally liable for that person's suicide, especially if that person is, as you would say, a "right wing nut job?"
