They were explained in that thread just the day before:

It's not ideal, that's true.

I'm sorry you felt ignored, that can hurt. And it already happens enough in "real" life, no one needs it here, too. But that wasn't our intent.

Saying you would make him feel suicidal probably would be considered something that could lead you to feel pressured.
