I'm sure he doesn't mean to ruin the tool parade that goes on around here. He was obviously just feeling off. We all do it. People who say "Oh it's just the internet, who cares?" are the same kind of people who use the same excuse to use the internet to do what was apparently done to this person, so that excuse never had a lot of stock with me. Not everyone can be a mindless idiot--sometimes people have bouts of emotion, and sometimes, god forbid, they might want to convey those feelings.
I kind of agree, if it was something of a personal nature, which has some kind of impact on the guys life, then sure, by all means discuss it. However, seeking attention, as i find this thread to be, asking basically "what do you think of me? somebody doesnt like me, so im going to make a dramatic exit" just screams "emo teenager". It shouldn't be encouraged to look upon these matters as being of great importance, its a person that doesnt like you, there are millions of people in the world, all with their own tastes and preferences, there's no way everyone can like you. There's no nice way of pussy footing around that, or any way to change it, so why not accept and get on with your life and live by your own actions instead of seeking the approval of others, or dwelling on things which you are unable to change. Some real life changing issues (like an alcholic mother, a death of a loved one, or the loss of somebody special to you), or something which you feel you are unable to talk to your friends and family i can totally understand, the petty things, which really could be solved by a little common sense and maturity shouldnt be treated with such sincerity.

Thats a load of crap, i dont care if somebody wants to insult me on the net, but i dont go out of my way to make other people feel bad, mainly because i know many people take things way too seriously/personally, I like to think i have a conscience. If i disagree with somebody i let them know, but by no means is it on a personal level.
@ Fatality, none of this is aimed at you, its just the way i view this type of topic, i understand people can piss you off sometimes, but hey, you cant change what others think, the best thing is to get on with your life and deal with it, remember, **** em, its their problem not yours.
