You do realize that you attempted to “solve” the issue by hiding the thread.
Guess what happened?
This thread.
Why? Because people wanted to talk about it. If you want to stop people from talking about your friend, you have to personally come to every single person in the capitol region who read/heard the story and tell them to stop talking.
If I closed this thread, guess what would happen? Another thread. Trust me it’s been like this on every single issue. You don’t “fix” the issue by hiding it.
This is a FORUM people come here to talk.
I’m not biased, I have basic rules setup that I’m fighting to enforce as you can see by other threads. This didn’t break any rules, but then you came in and actually broke them yourself.
The answer to this was for you to calmly come in and explain the situation and ask people to respect your friend. This didn’t happen and you simply enticed people to go after you and your friend more.
Did you go through every local/national forum and facebook and make sure nobody was talking about your friend? No? Then you fail at defending his honor and your little bullshit battle here accomplished NOTHING but further bashing of yourself and your friend.
If you ignored the thread it would have died within 20 replies. You didn’t. You made this one of the most popular and visited threads on Shift in recent months letting EVERYBODY read the comments made about your friend instead of a few people before friend died.
DO NOT come in here and try to blame me for your fruitless mission and your own actions that caused this to happen.
