His parents didn't reign in their child and they created a little monster. Tell them to fix it.

It's not about taking responsibility; it's about doing something nice.  Calm down you loving blowhard.

We haven't "done anything nice" for any other victim of any other school shooting. Why is it suddenly important now because the attacker may or may not have once trolled these forums?

How about when one of users is in the middle of a natural disaster like a flooding or fire? I don't get why this is the thing that makes people suddenly care.

I don't remember there being any users who lost their homes in a natural disaster, but maybe we should if there ever were.

It was just an idea of a nice thing we could do for the victims; what the forget is your problem?  You're getting way too upset and reading way too much into what was a simple suggestion by The Titanium.  I get that your forum persona is to be a raging cunt all the time, but it gets loving old, dude.  It's not needed here.  forget off.

Give the victims your old blockland keys that have been banned off the forums

Aside from the fact that I refuse to believe that this forum should take any responsibility for the forgeted up nature of the kid, I already blow my money on 4 different types of charity (Both Alzheimer's and Cancer research, support for clean water, medical aid and food supplies in Africa and just paying out homeless people around the streets of Sydney) and I work in a company where we literally have a newsfeed with notifications for every new charity feed that comes up daily. You might understand if I'm a little frustrated by all the hundreds of "good causes" people want me to pay out to even where I have no personal connection to them.

What are we even going to do? Is it money or physical items? How much do they need and how much can/will we raise? How are we going to supply these people? Do we even know specifically who this support is going to? "Victims" is such a generic term.

It's an ill-conceived, if positive-feeling idea. What we should be focusing on instead is our attitude towards the kind of behaviour that Sephiroth exhibited. That's going to have more an effect in the long run. We should be finding people in our community who clearly need a space to talk and offer that to them. We shouldn't be funding people we've not heard of before and will never hear from again.
