Glad to see you posting - although we have not seen eye to eye on some issues; I agree with the basic notion of "suicidal talk" versus "suicidal talk with explicit coercion"

If you don't - I will statements (wishingstar's - thank you for that phrase) feels coercive to me. (BTW - suicidal threats in my experience are almost always corecive - this isn't because the person is bad, it's because it's a coping strategy).

The problem with threats or "attempts" is that it falls off the curve at some point and the person succeeds, although death was not the intended end result. This is tragic, but all too common.

So what to do? I'm not sure...
