I'm not asking for a grammar lesson. (and I know what it means)

But when bullying by an organization is leading to death of people - there is a responsibility that has to be accounted for.

Wrong again. The lesson would be in semantics, not grammar.

Stop. Just stop already. You know what I mean.

And, if we're saying that the management of CHICAGO bullied cast members which led to their deaths... then, "literally" these persons are responsible. I asked for a simple opinion-based question. I didn't ask for a lecture on the use of a word.

The problem is that you question assumes facts that have not been established, and the word "literally" is part of that. That word seems to be part of an assertion that the behavior in rehearsal directly led to the suicide. This of course is not certain.

And this may have been a frustrating exchange but it was fruitful. I think acknowledging that the question was "opinion-based" rather than "fact-based" will help the discussion. What people objected to was that the idea that the bullying led to the death was presented as fact rather than opinion.
