My guess is he’ll succumb to an as yet unidentified condition: **B** igTardian **A** trophy **T** hrough **S** adistic, **H** eartless **I** nternet **T** rashtalk (BATSHIT). As you know, every time someone is mean to him in a post, it shaves another month or two off his life. If he keeps starting Pit threads, I imagine he’ll eventually waste away until he is too weak to type, and will be found slumped over his keyboard, with printouts of SDMB posts plastered all over his bedroom walls with hand-scrawled dates 60 days after the date of each post, indicating when he will reply to these soul-crushing assaults. Then he will be gone. ---

> [@hajario](#): > > Opal’s Mom said that she didn’t believe that the suicide was intentional but that it might have been. Plus, Opal’s blog mentions a recent suicide attempt just a few months ago. We can only speculate of course, but suicide seems to be at least a reasonable hypothesis. ---

> [@hajario](#): > > Opal’s Mom said that she didn’t believe that the suicide was intentional but that it might have been. Suicide is intentional by definition. If it’s unintentional it’s called an accident. Not that I am taking a position on whether or not Opal committed suicide, and I reserve the right to call those of you who are a bunch of nosy assholes. ---

The fact that she’s dead doesn’t change that. She loved and thrived on the drama about herself. Look at the bullshit that SHE HERSELF kept dragging onto the boards when her “private” folder of cocksucking pictures was “hacked” by people backspacing too far. She didn’t need to bring that into this forum, she could have just locked down the pictures quietly and not made a big deal about it, but no. There we have at least two threads started by the the star of the knob-gobbling show herself, bringing it up when very few people on this board were even aware there was a “problem”. > > Which was a repeated pattern of behaviour for her. From the “buckeyes” incident to the “Leather books are just like having holocaust-victim lampshades” thread to the repeated “How can I do x” threads where every. Single. Answer was met with “No, that won’t work for me because [list of frankly retarded limitations, that she should have put into the OP if they were really that important that they couldn’t be overcome]” > > So yes. She did like to surround herself in drama. The same way you like to surround youself in the stink of sanctimony, spraying ropes of self-righteous jizz all over the bottom of your keyboard tray as you once more lean back in your sweat and sadness-soaked computer chair, congratulating yourself with clammy palm pats for Having Shown Those Bullies On The Internet What For. Add links! Then this will be The. Greatest. Post. Ever. ---

Not that I am taking a position on whether or not Opal committed suicide, and I reserve the right to call those of you who are a bunch of nosy assholes. When my step-brother died from a self-inflicted gun shot wound, the police said that it would be ruled a suicide whether it was intentional or an accident. He didn’t leave a note and it probably was intentional. His Mom believes that it wasn’t intentional and that it was, at worst, an impulsive act related to his mental illness, which in his case was depression. ---

Oh my god, can we just shut up? Opal’s dead, she’s gone, and ok maybe some people are snarking about her. What makes you think yet another thread to comment on the comments is going to make it any better? Can we just let it go? Eventually Opalcat will mostly fade in the memories of everyone except the people who really cared about her. But good gods…do we have to keep raking the coals up over and over again? Feast on your own liver, not someone else’s.
