Suicide????? Death????? Kill????? Shoot????? Hang????? Why so fucking violent on the English Wikipedia???? I think this culture of reference to violence, abuse, subjugation, humiliation, and allround general crap, should really stop. (Are there any adults in the house?! Hello???)

I've never seen the phrase "suicide by admin" used in the way this essay proposes anyway. I've seen it used to mean "deliberate attempt by burnt-out user to get himself indefinitely blocked, by startling personal attacks and intemperate language". Which would also be logical, as the usual meaning of "suicide" is a deliberate act of self-destruction. (And that's also what the supposedly alluded-to phrase Suicide by cop means.) It seems quite a stretch to use it to mean something like "obliviously hurtling towards a cliff-face without knowing it's there". So I think this essay is simply mistaken. It describes something that happens on Wikipedia, but it ain't suicide by admin. Bishonen | talk 13:36, 2 May 2013 (UTC).Reply
