You know. I've managed to stay out of this thread for about 100% of it's pages and posts.
Though, with someone here who is OBVIOUSLY reading this thread, why not just leave the message simply saying: "No one's children were threatened. It may have been a rumor he heard or someone being stupid and typing stupid shit (Clown) who is no longer on this board. Though to stoop to murder, much less against a child, is not something we'd joke about when all that's truly at stake here is the flow of information of VIDEO GAMES. I know that some people here take that stuff seriously, maybe to a degree in which it might be unhealthy, but no one here would ever state something like that. I mean yeah, some of us are REALLY over-aggressive and stuff, but none of us would say something like that. And if they did, it's instant auto-ban and it's obviously someone we don't want associated with us."
That's REALLY all that needs to be done. Why send an email back when we all know this thread is being thoroughly read? Seriously.
I mean fucking seriously, guys. Someone, whether the story was made up or not, said that someone here threatened to murder a child. Sitting here calling that person batshit to each other and simply re-affirming your hate doesn't really help out the situation. You all need to seriously just calm the hell down.
And may the judge's record state this: I still read Kotaku, I don't comment as much, but I do read it. So lot me in with Tiller and Mike, I'm not ashamed of it. I'm happy with what I CHOOSE to read. Doesn't mean I read just that site. Then again, I never read just ONE site. I only actively commented on ONE site.
