Sorry
SPN, but this is just way too nit picky for the real world.
"Others" clearly referred to relationships, although it is entirely possible that an outraged SO may have killed a FlyerTalker for abandonment. If that were the case, the deceased FTer would not, be in a position to report, so this will be an eternal mystery, unless, of course, the FTer left his SO for another FTer who shares all of the messy details on line.
Woo Hoo, wouldn't that be a hot bit of gossip.
