Is it a person's fault they goto Hell? Yes We all Chose our eternal fate to one degree or another.
Is it wrong for a Christian not to share the Gospel? Absolutely yes. We have been commissioned to do so. This should be the only reason we live after accepting the Good news for ourselves.
Maybe I'll get back to issue of God and love. I think that the issue is superfluous for the time being so I'll focus on your answers to my two main questions.
I think it's a contradiction to hold that a person goes to hell by their free will, and that a Christian should witness. In one part, you're saying (going back to my Bob and Larry example) that Bob went to hell because of his own free will. Yet, at the same time, you're saying that Larry (by not witnessing) may have had something to do with Bob going to hell. That seems like a huge contradiction to me.
