If we start with the assumption that harrasment cause suicides then that argument means that it's ok to harras people as much as others do on average.

Obviously there is other causes also. But the base principel is a very shaky foundation to build a legal framework on.

Why start with the assumption that harassment causes suicide? We could just as well start with the assumption that vaccines cause autism.

We should use our intuition to ask questions rather than to answer them.
