To your main point as to whether he would have done it or not, I agree that chances are he would have gone through with it anyway. Problem is, now there are people out there feeling guilty because they were part of it. Which is completely understandable since personally, if I'd helped someone decide between different kinds of shot and later found out they killed people, I'd end up sick with guilt.
And on a slightly different note, I was also thinking of Gaia, a popular - though noob-plagued - RP site that also has lots of OOC areas. They actually had to make a rule threatening to ban people that encouraged suicide because anytime that someone posted a thread saying they felt suicidal/alienated/lost, someone would pop up and link them to ways to kill themselves. ~_~ Seeing as a lot of suicidal people do reach out for help, I really don't think that kind of attitude is helpful. Yeah, some of them are probably just attention-whores, but on the whole, I don't think it's worth the risk of having culpability in someone's death.
