I agree actually. I don't care at all what he thinks or does. It wasn't about me caring what he thought. It was about pointing out the irony and hypocrisy of the situation.
He thinks he trolled me, I say I trolled him.

Facts about Suicide
• Worldwide there are more deaths due to suicide than to accidents, homicides
and war combined.
• Over 34,000 people in the U.S. die by suicide every year.
• Currently, suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the U.S.
• Every day, approximately 95 Americans take their own life, and 2,370 more
attempt to do so.
• A person dies by suicide about every 15 minutes in the U.S. An attempt is
estimated to be made once every 40 seconds.
• In the U.S. in 2007 (the latest year for which rates are available), the suicide rate
among women was 4.8 per 100,000, while for men it was 18.3 per 100,000.
• There are four male suicides for every female suicide, but three female attempts
for each male attempt.
• Firearms are the most frequent method of suicide among adults in the U.S.
• Over 90 percent of people who die by suicide had at least one psychiatric illness
at the time of death. The most common diagnoses are depression and drug
and/or alcohol abuse.
• Alcoholism is a factor in about 30 percent of all suicide deaths.
• Early recognition and treatment of depression and other psychiatric illnesses
appears to be the best way to prevent suicide.
• Certain personality disorders, such as borderline and antisocial personality
disorders, appear to carry high risk for suicide. Impulsivity also appears to be a
risk factor for suicide.
• Between 20 and 50 percent of people who kill themselves had previously
attempted suicide. Although the majority of people who die by suicide have not
made a previous attempt, a serious suicide attempt is a clear risk factor for
suicide death.
• Suicidal individuals often talk about suicide directly or indirectly using statements
like, “My family would be better off with out me.” Sometimes they talk as if they
are saying goodbye or going away, and may arrange to put their affairs in order.
Other signs of contemplating suicide include giving away articles they value,
paying off debts or changing a will.
