You assume that he regarded
50 strangers in an insult chat room... to be
friends?
I disagree, and I wonder why you'd think this could possibly apply universally.

3. Yes, these people should be held accountable for their actions. There is a huge difference between the "jumpers" you want to use as an example and this man. Most jumpers don't carry on conversations with people watching them from below.

Not to belabor the point, but many do. There's a whole documentary on the "jumpers" of the golden gate bridge, and in the footage are many examples of people chatting up passersby. When interviewed after the fact, the motivation of some of them was to talk to someone and see if they cared. Some said, flat-out, that if the person they talked to was nice to them, they would feel better and go home;
most all of them, however, stated that if they were ignored or dismissed, that was it. It's a good documentary- very thorough.
My wish is not to debate your opinion- my point is that you assert your opinion as
fact, and I am debating that assertion of fact. And yes- when you want to jail people over your opinion, you are asserting it as fact.
