Just despicable.

I linked to this article "Women announced suicide on Facebook, no one helped" on my Facebook profile.
I got a very, very despicable answer.
A person on my profile replied "she sucks" on it, to which I responded "Excuse me?"
His response, after deleting his original post "she sucks" was:
"Yeah she's weak and doesn't know how to deal with her problems like an adult. That's some emo myspace shit."
Oh, that asshole. I read the post and responded on my mobile phone. That...asshole.
I responded with
"So you wrote "she sucks" as your initial response to the post, erased it, then comes back with saying she's weak? Because she committed suicide/attempted it at all, or because she wrote a suicide note online?
I think it's despicable others ...taunted her or made fun of her and didn't take her seriously. I think it's sad that her only friends who asked for her address were those who didn't live nearby and those who seemed to know didn't do anything. Someone saying they'll kill themselves is serious, especially if they seem specific about how and/or when.
There are people who threaten suicide or self-harm to emotionally manipulate people, I've met them or heard of them, but every instance should still be taken seriously. Even if only to show people that their statement is taken seriously, be they seriously suicidal or emotionally manipulative."
