Dinah,
Examine what you said in response to Zazenduckie: (my commentary is in parentheses)
"Your concern for the living is admirable. And I mean that sincerely, although I have absolutely less than no hope you'll believe that. (suggesting you know what Z believes) Perhaps you'd like to comfort the bereaved, (suggesting what Z would do) and speak up about the pain suicide brings? (suggesting what Z would say) About how there's nothing terribly romantic about it? (suggesting what Z would feel) About how sad you are that Pseudoname wasn't able to hold out for better times?" (suggesting what Z would feel and say)
Wouldn't it be better to let Z believe, think, act, and speak for himself?
