When somebody comes out in a public forum and talks about their problems, and makes a reference to committing suicide, then I think they should have no problems with public advice.

The problem I have with you, Peter, is that you feel the need to throw a public hissy fit when you don't agree with something. It makes you come off as childish. This is not the first time you have done this and it is INCREDIBLY annoying. I find it easy to sit behind my computer and fling insults as a result to you, which is childish on my part. I apologize.

Maybe that is cultural difference, like you mentioned.
