People do not commit suicide because of a single thing. It's not the rape alone that makes rape victims suicidal, it's the associated shame, social isolation, finger pointing and blame (it's never the victim's fault) as well, and those come from society - not the rapist, no matter how despicable the crime is.
So what are you saying here - if someone is raped, were previously fine, but then kill themselves because of shame that it is not the rapists fault? If not when is anything totally anyone's fault - if I beat you and left you in constant pain and paralysed then it would be your perception of pain and societies's provision and reaction to disabled that did it!
Pinning Swartz' suicide on overzealous prosecutors is as fair as pinning Jacintha Saldanha's suicide on the radio hosts.
In both cases they started a course of events that lead to someone committing suicide. Their degree of blame depends on to what degree they could have foreseen the risk, and to what degree they could have seen any unjust negative consequences for the victim (e.g. if I want to make you feel bad and you end up killing yourself I am more to blame than if I accidentally bring up a touchy subject that leads to it.). There is no doubt tough that to some extent they are to blame.
I agree, oranges are the tastiest fruit.

Ironic that your latest posts include accusing people of being prejudice.
A few posts back, but I take the point. This was meant to be light-hearted rather than vicious racism, I'm sorry if it came across wrong. Many of my relatives are Irish - and my wife has Irish ancestry.

How about

That's not libel -- at least not in the U.S. Perhaps Australian law is different. In the U.S., libel has to be false.
Are there exceptions? I got the impression from a TV show (I know not a reliable source) that it was libellous to spread something in sealed juvenile records.
and you spend your days wishing that you could have sex with a horse.
Just wishing? That does show a great lack of initiative.
Must really want a date with Catwoman.
Or Robin. Who knows?
Wait until he finds out that the original batmobile only gets you a date with the original Catwoman
