I don't think I have rubbished anyone's opinion - though I have commented on the one-sidedness of accusing this poor man of being "selfish". I think any judgment of his actions should be balanced against the recognition that the state of his mind at the time he ended his life was such that he was incapable of making any rational decision, being so overwhelmed with grief and pain, never mind be able to foresee the repercussions of his actions on others. To use the word "selfish" to describe his suicide is to presuppose that he purposefully and deliberately chose a course of action having full possession of all his faculties when in fact he did not.
