I know nothing about this guy, but I want to say a few things.
I'm old enough to know the nature of the internet. I spent my time on 4chan. I was aware of this place before I started posting here, and lurked for a while. And yes, my avatar/screenname is a famous serial killer.
I will never change someone's mind, but I still have to say I don't think it's cool to shit on someone that's dead, whether he killed himself or not. One exception to that in my head are people that... Well I guess "deserve it" and by that I mean people that crossed a horrible line. I think murderers and people who torture humans and animals cross a line where their value to humanity is no longer worth keeping them around. As far as I know, Etika didn't hurt anyone, so while he may have baited before and caused a lot of distress, in the end it seems it was all a result of being mentally ill, and I'm sympathetic to that. Mental illness is no joke, and I wish people could get the help they need.
I mainly came here to shit on DSP and I watch a few other threads for shitheads like Maddox (who I was a fan of until I saw him and heard his voice for the first time and realized he's just a faggot). I may tread dangerous A-Log territory with hoping DSP loses everything, but I don't wish death upon him.
I guess in reading this thread I was surprised at how cavalier some of you have been and still are about a dead man. I just have always thought you should have respect for the dead. They may have been shit people, but unless they actually harmed innocent people or animals, no one deserves death.
Just my thoughts. I'm sure I'll get a bunch of shit for it, but I'm ok with that. I spoke this same type of shit on 4chan and got called a moralfag and this and that. Luckily I learned a long, long time ago how to not let shit get to you. The only reason this gets to me is that I know it's people's true feelings towards someone who has died, but calling me names and whatever doesn't bother me.
Long post, if you read it all the way, I appreciate ya.
