Your scolding, scapegoating tone is pretty awful, too, but you'd have to delete the whole comment to correct it. No actions of any commenters here "lead to Aaron's death".
You call me a scold and accuse me of scapegoating. You claim that "no actions of any commenters here lead to Aaron's death" and imply that Aaron should have been able to survive the onslaught of financial ruin and the prospect of years in prison along with having his compatriots on Hacker News tell him to fuck off. Clearly, you have no compassion for Aaron's plight. But I do. You live in the same world with me and we are all in this together whether you like it or not.
Don't play like "who, me? I'm just a naive seeker-of-common-ground!"
You entered the conversation waving a bloody shirt to slur real people, present here, as being responsible for the death of another real person, who was once present here. You couldn't even spell your adoptive martyr's name right, yet you're passing judgement, and want to assign blame to commenters – commenters! – for a death.
Swartz was a principled free-speech absolutist – see http://bits.are.notabug.com/ – so you do him no honor when you suggest commenters owe penance, or silence, for expressing certain opinions.
