I didn't read the threads during the incident, just the aftermath threads. I backtracked after I had posted this and realized it has been brought up. Regardless, the pile of poo serves it purpose.

What's with all the suicide posts lately? This kid was Darwinized. It's sad, but if you're that stupid, well....

The fact of the matter is that if the kid really wanted to kill himself because of some girl, he definitely would have tried to contact her and leave her some kind of "I'm doing this because of you" message, not post about it on an internet message board.

I missed all this madness that went on, so I'm loathe to bring it all back up after the topic has already passed on. I don't care about this kid, or about the glorified assholes who made light of the situation for no other reason than their own amusement. I do however care about the outstandingly bad logic that has been used to defend some recent actions.

There is no 'matter of fact' here, and you don't know anything that he would 'definitely' do. You have ideas of what he would do, and they are quite likely to be true, but they are not knowable facts. That you profess to be so sure of this person's behavior, based on nothing more than a few posts on an internet message board, is laughable. As laughable as some of the other arguments that have been brought up recently.

Someone brought up the idea that if there was any chance that he was being serious, he should have been ignored or taken seriously. This is a demonstrably valid argument. If your best defense is to say that you know for a fact that he wasn't serious, for whatever reason, then you have lost the argument.
