Far lower yet is he who would criticize the dead. You won't be forced to sympathize, but nobody asked you to give commentary on how superior you feel to suicide victims.

No, it doesn't make it right. But it's especially not right to do what you're doing now.

I don't think it's quite right to retort claiming he's "giving commentary on how superior" he is.

You can give feedback without being equally as toxic.

I agree with you regarding suicide in general.

But not in this case, from his tweets he seemed to be having a mental breakdown. He can't be held responsible when his mind isn't working right.
