Murdered in cold blood was not how I envisioned this ending. Here's another article corroborating this storyYou know, fuck you for stalking and harassing me for the past eight years because I showed you a moment of kindness when I was too young and naïve to know better when you got kicked off

Having had the... displeasure of speaking with SB years ago when I was just getting into things, this is not the end I would have envisioned. Other than horror stories from friend after acquaintance after friend, I figured he'd be one of those eternal stalker/basement furs.

Definitely didn't deserve this end, but he was far from a good soul.

I remember interacting with and the subsequently eyerolling at and ignoring this guy for many a year now.

Pretty insane way for things to end up. How bizarre.

I'm not sure how I feel, given that this is only the second person ever who I've spoken to at some matter of length that's died(well, that I know of).

Eh. :|

WHAT THE FUCKING CRAP.

Look...wow. Woah. WOAH.

This is NOT fucking cool. I may have disliked the guy as much as anyone for his antics online, but there isn't SHIT he did that warranted him going out like this.

Jesus, fuck. He may not've been the most popular guy, but goddamn. I feel for his family and any friends he did have. But stabbed, stabbed? What a horrible thing to happen.

That seems to be how pretty much anybody with a degree of maturity seems to be handling it. Not sorry to see him go, but not relishing how he made his exit, either.

It's like the world is moving in slow motion for me after hearing about this.

I talked to him on occasion, unsure if it was because of the connection to you or just because he wanted to talk, but...wow. I feel so bad about this. I'm not in the 'not sorry to see him gone' camp, but yeah, that's a violent way to go. I can't even imagine what was going through his mind in the last few moments of life. What it's like on the otherside, everything. It's freakin' me out or something.

RIP Starblade.

For what it's worth, you have my sympathy.

You're a good enough person to feel sorry for his death, even though he did everything he could to make you miserable for years. Lots of people would not be so forgiving, including the people harassing you over this.
