Just on the off-chance that any of this death stuff is designed to get a reaction from me, here it is.
Having fun with Nibbles' death is kinda pointless - unless the point is simply to have fun, and if it is why then knock yourselves out, whatever floats yer boat. But if it in any way is intended to irk, outrage or hurt me or anyone else online who cared about her, it's a massively futile gesture. It can't hurt Nibbles; she's dead and she couldn't give a fuck. If she is now on some other plane of existence or whatever people believe, she still couldn't give a fuck. I know this because when she was alive she was untrollable, she could never be shaken by message board fuckery. She gave as good as she ever got, and then doubled it.
It also can't hurt me, because nothing anyone could post on a freakin' message board can even come close to hurting me the way the loss of my friend did. And I have in the wake of her death continued on with my life just fine, taking care of obligations and doing my thing, which includes posting on message boards. Just like always. So any visions of a tear-stricken Shatna sobbing and cursing his monitor at all these terrible tasteless threads are wasted. Just thought some people might like to know.
It's hard to follow what CU's point is. Watching him post here the last few days is like watching a ping pong ball. First his clever trolly snout detected fake sisters and secret troll conspiracies. Then it moved on to a lecture on BBS ethics, which tells us that everyone in the world should be aware of how things work on Star Trek-oriented spinoff message boards. (CU does, and therefore so should you!) Now we're on the "death is nothing to express emotion about, and you are a fool if you do so" track. This would all be infinitely more interesting if any of it were not the same tiresome, fakey-shock badass troll shit that I've been reading on this board for the past three years. But I dunno, maybe it's all Coyote's got.
People can and will say anything they want at Troll Kingdom, whether it's how "niggers" suck or that death can be funny. I know that, I'm aware of what this place is about. So it strikes me as kind weird that people are outraged by "ghost nibbles" and stupid death songs when those same people are perfectly willing to attack and troll and offend in any number of other infinite ways. If there's been an ethical or moral line drawn here, I'm afraid I missed it. And to be honest, "Ghost Nibbles" made me laugh, just because it was so retarded. Who does it hurt? I guarantee you with at least 99% certainty that Nibbles would have laughed at it too.
What a lot of people don't seem to get is this: Nibbles' sister is not an "internet person" in any way, beyond things like e-mail. She knew Nibbles was into a BBS community, but that's all she knew. She knows nothing about Trolls or warnings or bans or fake usernames, as hard as that may be for some of you to believe. Some brave, kickass Word Forge troll warrior posed as two of that board's admins on the funeral home guest book and left behind a direct link to a WF post that said some shitty and mocking things about Nibbles. This muthafuckin I-Pwn-U genius thought it would be funny to hurt the family by letting them see something hurtful about their dead child and sister. Coyote Ugly will tell you this doesn't matter, that it is brilliant, that had Coyote Ugly thought of it first he would readily have pulled it off, and fuck you if you are offended . Coyote Ugly will tell you that the sister should have known the Law of Troll and assume that a link posted in the midst of kind words from Nibbles' message board friends was a bomb ready to go off. This is because Coyote Ugly either doesn't care about anyone but Coyote Ugly (likely, and something he'd be proud to agree with) or because Coyote Ugly is so deeply entrenched in this dumbass, fuckwad moronic BBS nerd-o world that he can't see any other concerns (also very likely).
