He probably didn't mean to hurt him, but he sure as hell gave it very little thought. Either that, or he is just cynical. The warn should jog his memory next time.

he doesn't believe in warns at all, just fyi.

I`m very sorry for you dude. I hope you get over it soon.
Good luck.

God, we have some freaking heartless mother fuckers on these forums! Can ANYBODY here tell me that they read this guys first post and were like "eh... whatever...". If so you REALLLLLY need to go kill yourself or some shit. This guy just lost his brother! A guy you grew up with and have shared your thoughts and feelings with! You want the fucking "reason" why he made this topic?
Because his brother died! Need more reason than that you fucking heartless cock sucker!

And you know, even IF you don`t care. Even if you think this topic is stupid, just keep it to your freaking self! This guy is a member of this forum and the LEAST we can do as fellow forum members is post something nice to the guy who just lost a loved one close to him.

EDIT: I don`t like to use swear words on forums for no particular reason but you people actually maneged to piss me off...

because some of us have lost family and friends too, and the thought of using their memory for a forum topic disgusts me. I'd rather be percieved as a dick and hope that if he's actually using this topic because he has no one else than a bunch of complete strangers he's barely talked to, he might seek professional help (fyi the idea that OH HE CAN BROWSE STILL falls apart when he's editing his member title and posting news updates all about that singular topic instead of just fucking around per usual).

I don't like posting this stuff because yeah man, grief can be expressed in a lot of forms, but you have to realize similarly it offends those of us who do have dead family or just in general respect the dead, especially in one as strangely brutal and confused as this. it kind of bothers me that he was hanging around posting news articles and editing his member title just a few hours after the fact instead of posting the topic and then fucking off for a while. at best it's an incredibly unhealthy way to grieve, at worst it's incredibly offensive to the dead brother!

most people who lose family or friends at GW tend to post a Farewell topic, knowing they will be really fucked up for a while and not in the mood for internet forums, which is really kind of part of the normal grieving process. sticking around and posting article links on how your brother tried to shoot someone else, combined with how none of us really know Elighja at all, and it's not hard to see why a few people have said "jesus christ man go home don't talk to us dude".

but you know, all of you offering empty condolences (and don't lie, because I am pretty sure most of you don't know Eligjah from Adam) are somehow the good ones because you're encouraging what anyone with a bit of sense would see is a really poor way of dealing with a death in the family. it doesn't matter who does that or how well known they are, because that's just not healthy at all!

Elighja if you read this please do not take offense but similarly please do go and talk to your family and loved ones instead of the internet. you need to talk to people who knew your brother, not seek sympathy from e-people that you don't know, because we can only offer so much and it's all essentially hollow.

Your right about that. That was really stupid of me to say. (Please don`t ban me)

Yes I can understand people say that posting this is stupid. The thing that bothers me is that instead of just giving a condolence, doesn`t matter how hollow, they actually say "This is stupid, etc".
A lot of us here on GW are smart people. Smart in the sense that we often take logic over feelings. And indeed the most "logical" thing to do is say that this topic is stupid. Problem is that sometimes it comes of as plain cruel.

it shouldn`t be THAT hard to get even the slitest of understanding of how Elighja feels. Imagine, a close friend died and you just post it on a forum you go to. No real reason, just because, you know, just because. And in come people saying this is stupid and all...

Is it so hard for us to just think: "you know what, let I not be a dick by saying I don`t care, I`ll just give my empty condolence and run off." Is it really that hard to do this?

The posting of articles was kinda strange though, but maybe it was for people that don`t believe him.

I don't even know what to say to some of you people. Some of you are just really cold hearted. I will remember this if someone close to you or a loved one passes away. I will remember this and quote your stupid words from your posts and send it in a pm to you. Just so you would understand how your retarded posts make me feel. In a way I guess this thread was made so that I would tell ppl i would be gone for a while but also everything was in such a shock coz i think i posted this the day I found out. Since I was in such a shock I didn't know what to do. Try being in my position, try understanding the way I feel. Its worse than dieing, and when people say stupid things dieing does cross your mind. You feel like you lost it all and you ask yourself, why am i still living? so you search for an answer. I wish some of you cold hearted people only knew half of what I felt. I would gladly give it to you just so you understand. But I cant ramble on about this forever but is not going to change anything. Even though some of your condolences didn't mean anything to you it still meant something to me. Thank you!!!

Wow, I didn't realize this topic was still even being posted in. Anyways, Steel pretty much summed up my entire position as concisely and politely as it could be done. Thanks, even though I highly doubt you were doing it for me, haha!

And to the person who told him to KILL HIMSELF: seriously, fuck off. I mean, I understand that his loss shouldn't justify breaking any sort of unwritten social code of ethics, and if someone is doing this it should be dealt with appropriately not by telling them to kill themselves. Seriously.

It really isn't such a big deal that he's posting about this on a forum. Some of you wouldn't consider doing it, and neither would I, but I imagine that when something so devastating as this happens, there's no telling how you'll react. I also don't consider it to be unsightly or disrespectful to his brother. It's just a forum post, after all.

And Elighja, whatever you do, just remember that you can be above everybody who posted rude replies to this topic. There's no need to mock anyone in case something like this happens to them. Though you're facing a difficult time right now, you need to remember that you are a person who's capable of thinking rationally and conducting yourself the way you should. Like I said before, your life hasn't stopped. Don't fall into a ditch over this.

(Maybe this topic should be locked by now.)

Man, I don't think he is fishing for condolences guys, or seeks ANYTHING FROM THIS. It's something to get off HIS BACK not to make YOU CARE. One could perceive is like talking to a wall but, what's wrong with that man? I see it as 2 ways to make one feel better. Talking with others, and then just getting it off your chest whether it be typing or just talking to one's self!
I also think that he posted the newslinks to PROVE it was true, and that he isn't a worthless piece of shit liar(as he proved in the past, but people change!).

Dada is right. This topic has been going downhill for a while now. Elighja, even though I'm locking it, you can still PM me or any of the other members who offered if you need to talk or vent some feelings.
