I feel most uneasy about the dismissive way in which LJ Abuse repeatedly refuses to intervene in serious situations

How do you know they don't do something?

That had nothing to do with private info

"I haven't said a goddamned thing about wanting Abuse to stop "awful" stuff from happening, or to keep people from saying what they want."Um, yes, you did. You wanted the Abuse team to intervene in a situation where it wasn't your personal information. You wanted the Abuse team to be involved on the grounds of what was happening, not becuase something happened to you. Not that there's nothing wrong with that. The generalization I made could refer to anything from a situation where there's a TOS violation that someone catches or someone who wants LJ to censor a controversial journal

What exactly do you expect them to do?

How do you know they haven't done anything?

An IP address rarely gives enough information to identify a person. I also don't think it's fair to expect them to judge whether a person is seriously at risk of suicide. If the school name is posted in the profile, why is it LJ Abuse's responsibility to contact the school rather than the responsibility of the person's friends?

IP addresses really don't help, But, LJ Abuse, if they know or can find your personal information and if there is imminent danger will do something. And this extends beyond suicide. If you are posting a phone post and people can hear something happen

It's my personal observation that the self-titled "Abuse Team" doesn't care if possibly suicidal users live or die.

It's also my opinion that those who have carefully posted their private contact information with the idea the Abuse Team will get them help if an emergency is indicated will be very unpleasantly surprised.
