#offtopic: As usual, all the shit goes down when I decide to take a break from the forums.
#ontopic: I am deeply shocked, saddened and disgusted, faith in humanity down by 500%
I don't even...I just don't see how this whole awful mess could have possibly happened in the first place.
Firstly, why the hell are 8 year old kids using the forums, let alone internet! I used the internet from about 10, but my parents limited me to very specific sites and constantly checked what I was doing until I was 13.
Secondly, What the hell does the father think he was doing? I mean he didn't even check where the post originated from! even my dad (who gets angry pretty quick) wouldn't be so rash as to track the guy down without even check the source and context.
It was a game for bucks sake! A GAME! what....
Ok, Ol' Sarge, please, please don't leave. You did nothing wrong and acted under information that you thought was correct at the time. And I think I speak on behalf of the community when I say that none of us hold you responsible. We will all try our best to support you through what must be an extremely difficult and troubling time.
Just try get it cleaned up with the relevant people, just in case it escalates and turns even nastier. (which I very much hope it doesn't)
And if you need anything, the forums are here for you.
This is indeed, a very dark day for us here at MLP forums.
