Watch there be an alt with a fake letter from his "parents" talking about how he caused the "death" of their son.
Then investigation starts and in the end he didn't die.
Blah blah blah, and the day was saved by Blockland Forums.

Wow. You are smart.

HOWEVER, let me give you a lesson of psychology.

The moment you hear he actually offed himself because of you, with proof, you WILL contract guilt diesease.
The symptoms of guilt disease:
- Sadness
- The feeling of a shadow/weight on your heart
- The unhappy thought of "you are a murderer"
- Self-berating
- Sudden urges to clutch your head
- You have trouble swallowing
- Denial of yourself contributing to his Self Delete
- "Self-punishment"
- Thoughts of Self Delete

If you have at least 3-4 of these symptoms, report to your local psychiatrist immediately.

"But I don't even give a damn about his feeli-"
Today you refuse to care, the next day you silently weep to the pillow and refuse to get up. This is how the human mind works.

Don't worry, it'll blow over in about 3~7 days. Just my five cents.

I think we could all agree (or at least most of us) that we'd feel pretty bad if he actually did commit Self Delete. We are the community, and the community angered him with stuffposts and flaming, thus driving himself towards this decision. But of course, his supposed Self Delete is not entirely our fault (if at all, in some people's opinions). He had a choice, whether to simply leave or to kill himself. Despite whether or not he considered both decisions, he could have simply said, "forget u im leaving" and it would have ended just as that. Someone who is considered annoying by most left the forums. Who cares.

It was the fact that he claimed to be committing Self Delete that triggered something in all/most of us. Some people, although definitely not from the beginning of the thread, probably started thinking, Holy stuff, did we just drive this kid towards Self Delete?, and thus feel more guilty, and feel more empathy towards him than they did before. They will feel like they, and the rest of the community involved, have caused it, and they believe they have to try to fix it, wish that they had said something before.

But of course, as I said before, had he just left a simple goodbye post, no one would care. He would have left, and although a bit of discussion might arise, it won't be as bad nor last as long as this has. However, this is of course a different situation, obviously causing different reactions and beliefs than the latter solution.

Not to mention the fact that docter most likely did not kill himself, but rather just wanted attention as he left the forums, as Electrk and various others have stated before.

That's actually just common sense, whether he died or not, the parents would still most likely either post a thread with an alt about the (real) death of their ~~daughter~~ son, or post a fake thread claiming for him to be dead and go on to report a story to the news about the "dangers" of "cyber-bullying".

And then what started as a celebration of the leaving of a hated person became an extensive tale of death, hatred, forgiveness, and the reinvigoration of a community.
And may we hope it never loving happens again.

i hope he comes back and tries to trick us that his parents are posting about how he killed himself. it'll be funny because the way he types is really distinct.
