Rest in Peace HPRC

[Proog]

I just don't see it how anyone "CAN" feel sorry for someone that they've never met, seen or talked too.

When I check the obituaries you don't see me crying all over the newspaper.

Honestly I agree with this.

Makes me sound like a total douche but it's true. I've never met him and never will, it may be sad for some people but I'm sure less than 10 people knew him personally, as in off the computer and in real life.

It's a shame he's gone, but how people make it look like it's a huge loss to them is beyond me.
Maybe I'm just cold hearted about people I don't know dying.

People who didn't know HPRC still read the OP which gives a little biography about HPRC, and how he was a good person. People usually feel sorry when a good person dies.

I'm sure if the newspaper gave a biography about each person and how they died, you'd feel sorry.

You have no idea what you were talking about. I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk about deceased people you don't know instead of contradicting yourself. HP has been playing Blockland since 2005 and is fairly well known by anybody who has been around that long. From your point of view you're talking about somebody you don't know, but from my point of view you're talking about one of my only friends.

I'm sure you achieve some sort of satisfaction from your self-righteous agenda, but just because you can doesn't mean you should post how you don't care about somebody's death in a thread about their death where people are grieving. Keeping your malignantly unsympathetic opinions under wraps would almost certainly prove beneficial in the future. Just some advice. This goes for you too, Whoda.

Yes, it's perfectly fine to be sad about your loss, I would too in your situation.

But not everyone here has heard of him, and a good portion probably only know him from in game. From what I see, you know him in real life and were probably quite attached to him.  But this goes for nearly any "X died :(" thread because many of the people are going to say RIP and forget about it within a month. It just seems  that most of the sympathy is just because there's a topic about it.

I'm just saying some people get too depressed over the death of someone who they have only talked to behind a screen. This is not directed towards you at all, it's a death you've had to deal with personally. The point is all the general topics like this end up as a pit of sadness.

Pulling an example like "My cat died" out of a hat. I am 100% confident that the only person who was attached to the cat was the owner unless they happen to have siblings who are also on the forum. Despite nobody knowing about that cat until the topic, they all act like their own mother had died.

Plus, I think discussing deaths of close ones on the internet is of poor taste, but that's just my opinion.

[Radon]

The fact that you know them over the internet makes them less of a person? You should be less upset because even though you enjoyed what you did with them it was through means of the computer? I've clearly stated I am not asking for sympathy or anybody's condolences. Anybody who has given such has done so because I'm assuming they are regular human beings and feel a certain level of empathy for HPRC's friends and family. Companionship isn't about how you know somebody, it's about enjoying the time you spend with them, and anybody who knew him enjoyed his company. Again, you clearly know next to nothing on the subject and are just posting to post. I didn't post this for you. Don't comment if you don't care. This is so people would know where he went.

R.I.P. I've have lost the most dearest person in my life to me, my Mother.
May I ask what rule you broke to get banned?

it's 'cause saying "im sorry to hear that" or something similar is all you really can say without people getting offended

Back in the day we (mainly me) owned a lot of keys. Badspot deleted them all because I gave one to Jimmg and he posted it on the forums. I was banned from the forums for trolling.

HP's ID (279) was deleted for being associated with me. I always felt horrible but he never held it against me and just bought another key.

almost everyone has experienced the death of someone or something in their life, so of course we can be empathetic without it being directly linked to us. how you don't understand that we're being empathetic is absolutely beyond me.

anyway, really sorry to hear about his passing. that's too young for anyone.

[Ephialtes]

A lot of people who have played BL for ages knew and liked HPRC and I'm sure they atleast appreciate knowing what happened instead of him just disappearing - so there's a perfectly good reason for the thread. If you don't know the guy, don't post. There's no point in you starting some debate/argument - what are you trying to gain here? Typical Blockland forums can't even show some decency in a thread about a member of the community dying without trying to argue some point or another.

That's the end of it. I'll be deleting anything further. Just have some respect.

patsy gives her condolences

[ultimamax]

Never met him in my life.

Still a damn shame though. RIP HPRC, you sound like a coolbro.

HPRC is now Offline.
That's probably one of the most depressing lines I have read on the internet.

I'm very sorry. My grandfather passed away only a month ago and I know how losing a good friend can feel like.

[Fob]

I'm sorry for the loss. Knowing a member of the blockland community has died feels very strange for me, like I wouldn't expect it. But it goes to show you have to make the most of life because you never know what will happen tomorrow, or the day after that.
A little big off-topic here, but I wonder what people here would think of my death if i were to die soon. Because online, i can be a real douche at times :/
