To be honest, I really don't understand why Unova is getting the massive amount of hate that I'm seeing. I think you guys are overreacting. Yes, he screwed up badly, but he doesn't deserve to be brutally executed and shunned by the entire forums because of it. I can understand how someone might misconstrue topics as attention-seeking, because it has happened in the past (e.g. Pie Crust saying he was a girl, P4ris and the "weed brownies," and etc.). Heck, I find it hard myself to trust a lot of stuff posted in off topic. He understands that he's wrong and he's trying to apologize, yet you can't be the bigger man and accept it?
I've had dogs in my life die, too, but it's nothing to get angry over if someone thinks you're not telling the truth. Happens in school all the time. So cool your jets. Please.
