Nobody's encouraged anything.

Okay, first of all, I never condoned his arrogance, or his insults. The second he joined the forums, he's was a complete ***, insulting everyone for his own enjoyment, basically everything Shiina stated previously, I don't disagree with that, but who isn't? That's what people did to me when I first joined. He was a prick, and everyone's was a prick back; it's just the ****ing internet. But you're taking things too far. I'm defending him now, because he doesn't deserve this much ****. I had a low opinion of him, but that opinion was invalid. I made a judgement quite like the one you're making now. Insult him as much as you like, fight back with the same amount of force, but don't bring depression or suicide into this. There's a line, and you're the only one crossing it.
No, you don't, but I don't think that's the case here. People lose themselves momentarily. Posting about his suicidal urges on an online forum was a pretty **** decision, and I'm sure he regrets it. But you still cannot claim he was just attention seeking, because you don't know. All you can do is assume, and if that's honestly your assumption, you're ignorant. You were given an opportunity to help, to give advice, and you chose to ridicule him, and encourage the deed instead of trying to prevent it. That is what's not okay. You didn't have to say anything.
Playing me? How is he playing me? I have his back like I'd have anyone else's in this situation. And I've already told him to stop being an ***, it's not like I'm defending his every move.
