re: It's very sad that 100+ people on this forum are upvoting a man's suicide

I think it's okay not to care. I don't really care that much myself if I'm being honest. But the positive reaction is a little disturbing. There's a strain of sadism that can permeate some discussions around here that's worse than merely failing to empathize.

Yes, it's a good point. Indifference at breaking up families is one thing. This board's celebration of getting the dirty, disease carrying immigrants out is quite another. Most people didn't feel like that before Trump, they allowed his rhetoric (and in fairness to him, the rhetoric of other supporters) to turn their anti-illegal immigration position into an unhinged emotional response.
But Toddy is still full of shite.

This idea that caring about someone you never knew and then professing it to others so that they know you care is very annoying to me.
The OP doesn't actually care about this individual. I understand his point in relation to people upvoting his suicide, but I disagree with the virtue signaling on all counts and find it more annoying.
At least those who upvote or proclaim that they don't care are being honest.
