Diary - Today I read about an article about "virtual identity suicide"

[Maybo]

We understand that you don't like the connotation but that doesn't change the fact that "virtual [identity] suicide" is now an accepted phrase.

I understand the point “It was by their own hand so it's compared to suicide”. I’m not trying to change the fact or asking anyone not to use the phrase. I’m just expressing my feelings about the phrase.

I think you're taking it all a bit too seriously.

I’m not taking it seriously. I’m just simply explaining my focus is on my feeling.

Are you equally upset by the common term "career suicide"

Not much. It’s just career.

The term "virtual identity suicide" is entirely new to me. I wouldn't call it an accepted phrase. As for "strong word" I think I commented on that indirectly.

@Maybo Say: "It's damage to a person's career, not real suicide."

At no point have you said you are upset about anything.

Not much really. It’s just a career.
