I don't take well to liars, attention-seekers or beggars. I don't kindly to people who engage in extremely absurd behaviour, rub it in people's faces and then get all misty-eyed and upset when people tell them to knock it off.
Even so, using such harsh language won't help, if it's such a delicate, but bothersome situation with someone, and you can't stand their behavior, you should just back off and not say anything to them
You may have tried to help, but then they didn't listen, THAT would be their fault, but by using rude language toward them, you're only reinforcing their already possibly fragile state, and thus making whatever happens also your fault, even partially because you were an influence on his actions
Outland wasn't even being that much of a nuisance to be picked on like he was, heck, of all the people who picked on him, you seemed to have exploded at him the most in just one post, do
you have some sort of deep seated issues you wish to discuss?
I don't take well to people who acknowledge they have a problem, know where to get help from, and yet don't seem to have any interest in actually fixing what ales them.
You don't know what was going through his mind or what was going on in his life at the time, none of us do, but i assume based on his behavior and actions that there might have been stress and/or anxiety issues that prevented him from actually seeking help before he did anything, it could have even been a financial thing as well, we'll never know, and it's for the best that we don't bring up the past that Outland would rather forget about just to ask about such personal things
If that kid went ahead and committed to Self Delete, that's not our fault. Those are deep-seated mental issues
Except it
would be all your faults for bringing out those mental issues, you all could have let him be, and maybe things could have gone better, or at the very least, these things could have played out on their own, but instead, you guys had to poke fun at him and call him a liar knowing full well how he felt and that the BLF was his only source of happiness
I understand it's hard to tell if someone on the internet is serious or not, or if they're just being a drama queen, but Self Delete is nothing to joke about, Outland was showing signs that something, at the very least, was going on with him, so people should have taken his posts with a grain of salt and just backed off, calling him a liar and poking fun at him was the WORST possible thing anyone could do to someone in that situation and look what happened! You guys really need to take these things into consideration before just assuming the worst and attacking someone who is mentally unstable
Despite anything that Outland has said or done, how you guys don't seem to feel even a little bit guilty or phased for having a hand in ALMOST helping Outland to his really early grave, is beyond me
For all we know, INH could be next if people keep bugging him about being a future honor student/homicidal maniac
It's already bad enough that he keeps bringing it up himself, but you guys don't need to keep reinforcing it!
It did used to be a joke, and we all had a good laugh, but it's getting out of hand, if INH is gonna keep bringing it up, or posting a picture of himself with a gun, then let him, he's not doing you any harm! Berating him to the point of having to edit out his posts is only pushing him towards actually becoming homicidal!

You oughta' do the same
If you are going to kill yourself over mean things said on a loving Lego forum then you were probably going to kill yourself regardless.
Not if it helps take his mind off of those suicidal tendencies, again, things could have gone better without the berating, or if it were to have happened anyway, at least you guys wouldn't be at fault and possibly even held accountable if Outland actually DID kill himself
Heck, if he did manage to kill himself, these are Badspot's forums,
he could have been held accountable if Outland's parents knew about what went down here and sued him for allowing his userbase to drive their son to Self Delete
