In my experience, the suiciders are the ones that become frustrated with you, for whatever reason. Some people get mad when you (GASP!) actually attack them instead of getting entrenched. Others, well, you just rub them the wrong way as some have mentioned here. (Yep, that's happened in my case a few times...)
In one recent Casual, multi-player game, I sent two diplo truce requests, both of which were ignored. So, I attacked that border to consolidate my two positions into (a more defensible) one. That triggered a barrage of "you didn't have to attack me for no good reason" and ultimately a suicide. I wasn't exactly surprised, but it can be frustrating. We're not here to lie on the beach, are we? Isn't attacking neighbours and gaining more territory sort of the whole point of the game?
In any case, I've learned to consider the possibility of a suicide in certain situations, and plan accordingly. If I can absorb the hit, then I'm a little more cavalier than if I'm stretched too thinly. In that case, maybe it takes more diplomacy or a Plan B.
Is suiciding cheating? As others have mentioned here, probably not, technically speaking. Not very honourable though, and definitely the sign of a poor loser. But it is a part of the game in any case, and one that needs to be considered in certain situations.
