Heya,
I should mention that this was an IRC log, not part of Dancesafe… We put it up to show people that there is a need to educate themselves on the dangers of mixing and matching recreational drug use to prevent situations exactly like this…
I hope someone, at least one person, woke up to this fact after reading those…
NOTHING is foolproof, know what your doing, know what you can do, and most importantly, know what to do if something goes wrong.
Shit.
I just read the chat logs.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Sympathy, for you and him.
RIP.
Bryan, as a former raver, let me say that I always really appreciated what Dancesafe and organizations like it were(and are, I assume) trying to do. There’s a lot of naive and ignorant kids in that scene when it comes to drugs, and it’s great that you guys try to combat that. I know more than a few people who’s welfare and possibly lives were saved by your efforts.
thanks
Renfield, fuck off. No-one deserves to die as the result of a stupid mistake made at 21.
Anyway, I popped in this thread just to mention that here in the UK this sad story is the headline in The Times today.
Thats so you can’t drop stinkers like yer first post, get called on it, and then edit it and claim you never said what was said.
We have a little unwritten rule here: Think twice, post once.
Learn it. Live it. Love it.
Ever heard of compassion? The guy made a foolish mistake, he had mental problems-and you have to be an asshole and suggest he “deserved to die”. Did his parents deserve to lose their son? Did his friends deserve to lose their friend?
What made you think that it would be a good idea to post this shit here, where the OP is torn up inside because his friend Brandon died?
Well that’s a slippery slope if I ever saw one.
…and posting insensitive shit in a sympathy thread must be your personality’s way of saving us from your tripe. In that respect, you’re some kind of hero.
Yes, clearly you set a standard for us all. If only “ripper” could have learned by your example. :rolleyes:
Did you happen to catch that he had a name and that there are people on this very board, no less, that loved him? Or would you just say that they’re better off without that “jerk?”
Boo-fucking-hoo, asshole. I’m glad to see you have such a keen sense of perspective.
Isn’t it ironic that your cute lil’ acronym is supposed to stand for peace, love, unity and respect?
:rolleyes:
Now fuck off and let the people with some vestige of humanity mourn.
Malkavia, you have my condolences both for the unecessary aggravation and loss of your friend. I, too, am 21, and as such I offer you my sympathy as a peer.
Did you know about the “Don’t be a jerk.” rule also?
You may want to re-read that part of your user agreement.
Just a thought.
:dubious:
I’m sorry, but this doesn’t smell right to me. If you are big brother, and not renfield then why did you say “his littlebrother” instead of “our”, it may be semantical, but your post has a wierd feel to it.
Also what do seizures have to do with it? How did you know he posted this, much less here at the SDMB?
Found this on the BBC today.
I find their use of quote marks around the word suicide rather offensive.
I think all that indicates is that the death might have been considered accidental.
No offense, but this still sounds a little odd. I’m not trying to hassle you, but how did you know what your brother posted? I mean, you just registered today and he registered recently as well. How did you know it was even him who posted? I hate to sound like an Ogre, but the equation isn’t working out in my head.
I don’t really have anything new to add, except my sympathies. That, and I didn’t want that troll’s post to be the last thing on here. The OP deserves better than that.
I am sorry to hear of your friend’s death, Malk.
You mention that you just found out about his death. Were the two of you out of touch with one another? Why did it take so long for someone to let you know about his death?
What type of fuck eggs someone on to take even more drugs?
How horribly sad.
Small hijack.
I am unfamiliar with IRC chat. What are bots and who and what makes them type the things that they type?
I’m not too familiar with the details, but bots can be set up to automatically respond to messages or text in the channel. You can see some examples in the log:
Oh, I have to see how long THAT stays active.
As for tehbrim: 5, 4, 3, 2…
Twinkie in the Fathom chat room does this. It’s a script that runs in the background. Whenever he sees a sentence with the word “is” in it, he stores it. Then when the word or phrase preceeding the word “is” is said, he spits out what was said before. You can also program him to have specific responses to specific words. If you mention a goat in #fathom, for example, he will say that he is afraid of goats.
It seems that the URL of this thread is being passed around to clueless jerks, so I think that the best thing to do is to close the thread. Sorry, and my condolences.
