there is a thread that's personally offensive

Mods... I am a personal friend of Erik Watts. Someone posted that he had died, and then there was a post following it that said "I just love that we have a thread dedicated to Erik fucking Watts..." Erik is having serious emotional problems and did try to commit suicide, and every time that I think about that thread it hurts me, because he's not dead, and the fact that anyone would take something as serious as suicide so lightly makes me highly angry and offended. Please, please, if you have any respect for people who are going through tough times, delete this thread. Thank you.

Erik Watts is a dead

Nobody took anything lightly. Almost every post on the thread is respectful, and there's nothing on that thread that doesn't get written on a billion other websites. Fortunately, the rumours weren't true so the thread didn't continue. Nothing to see here.

I could be construed as having libelled Sean O'Haire on that thread, actually. Lucky I spelt his name wrong.

Could the thread title maybe be changed to "Erik Watts Is A Alive"?

::smiles:: Sorry, I'm sensitive. Just the fact that "now we have a thread dedicated to Erik fucking Watts". I mean, lordy.

I think the person posted that with amusement rather than disdain.

Yeah, I got nothing but love for Erik. People who compare him to David Flair and Scott Putski? Fools. Subhuman scum.

reads like amused disdain, at best.

I WONDER ABOUT THE JUDGEMENT AND HUMAN DECENCY OF THE ILE MASSIVE AND ITS MODS. DON'T LIKE READING THIS? IGNORE IT.
