Has it been established that black barring HN would cause copycat suicides? Maybe the amount of attention Aaron is getting on HN (top stories all about him) is sufficient cause for copycat suicides. Should we all stop upvoting stories for fear that it might cause copycat suicides? Should we stop discussing the subject altogether? I think discussing it is very healthy for the community since we might be able to draw conclusions about what we could do better to help those in the same boat.
