I guess you've never had anyone close to you die.']['error wrote:
Hmm i didn't expect that you people would take this so serious. It was an stupid joke with no sense of humor but you guys need to realize: I absolutely love this community and its members, but it's a forum about an video game with people that have never seen each other before. every one can pull off anything and everyone would believe it. it has been done many times (think of spawn's threads, or CN117 thread about bush), don't be so angry
about this. for the ones that did take this very serious: apology's for that.
Then, you might understand.
When someone close to you dies, you need support and reassurance. But, what if someone close to you dies and every comment you hear is "liar" .... "get a life" .... "waiting for Ashton"
You see, there are certain topics that are considered sacred ... decent humans don't make jokes faking someone's death because we don't want to water down the gravity of the situation. None of us wants to have such joke threads created on death because then we will never believe them when they are genuine... and the people who are mourning will not get the support and encouragement that they require during a very sad time.
In consideration of your feelings, and the feelings of others who know elmo, that thread was heavily protected ... multiple posts were deleted by people suggesting it was fake and making harsh comments toward you ... two people were banned. Why? Because decent humans care about other's feelings.
