I think about that often. Sometimes it’s hard to know if a person is serious or trolling. If it is serious it might be better to have the question deleted than to incur the reactions that will inevitably follow. I mean, this depressed person may end up getting verbally abused instead of helped. Posting questions on the internet doesn’t substitute for getting help. Maybe if the question is deleted the person will go reach out to people who can really help. In cases where people have gone online after hurting themselves, it would be great if authorities could be contacted, but the internet is a big place. Sometimes it may not be possible.
