Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I didn't know............. oh frack it, anything I say now won't make me any less of an ass.
I'm really am sorry, krashkart. I get to thinking about these things and I just sort of get carried away and lose context.

I think you're right, and now that you put it like that, it seems really obvious. In fact, that's even in the book I recommended. Color me stupid. Like I said, I tend to get carried away and lose context. I guess what I really meant was that
I couldn't kill myself without some purpose. I would consider it an act of cowardice for
me to do that, and I just don't understand how it would be okay for anyone else. Yes, I can really be that stupid.
Again, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to slight someone you lost.
