I know the OP. He's the year below me on my course. I honestly don't think that anything that he's been involved is all that bad, nor do I think, if the police have been notified, that they will do anything about.

However, what still remains is that this guy is more of a regular at my local bar than I am. So it's not like I can really avoid him. What I'm afraid of is that the next time I go for a drink I'm going to blurt out some freudian slip, which would just be all kinds of awkward.

btw: I'm not ping, I'm the friend that ping mentions. The hell if I'd ever get a SA account.

I only read the first page, but it seems like the offensive content was removed when the guy was banned. What did he do, then? Also, some context as to what that forum's for/about would be good.

Read a little further... It's worth it, seriously. :D

Well, boys and girls, this is what happens if you make your identity too obvious online.

I'm half-hoping Valentina-whatever is reading this. He got off easy here.

Obviously the right thing to do is spill a pint on his lap and call him Wetlegs, then laugh as he runs terrifiedly in fear of the general public knowing what he has done.

Laugh uproariously, and keep him away from any younger brothers, nephews, and pets.

Also, as fun is it might be to poke fun at him at university, I don't think I could bring myself to do it. I got a laugh at the online schadenfreude, but I wouldn't want to have anything to do with anything that might ruin his actual life.

Ohh is that what this tread is about? A link to the actual page or a mention of the comment or page number would have helped.

Theres not a lot strange about that I think.

oh mygod.

never mention it to him. leave him what shreds of sanity he may have left.

this (the sa) thread should be saved for showing your children some day so they will know what not to do online and the ramifications of doing it anyway.

Ahh reading further I find that this forum says he is a furrie. *shrug* Shit I know some of them and they are decent folx, people are hard from time to time. I guess the realtivly annymouseness of the web makes people a tad braver.

I definitely agree with leaving him alone. But I think I'll probably end up sniggering when I pass him in the bar or something by accident, and so close to this 'event' he might catch. Especially as he will know that someone who goes to this bar knows his internet history.

I guess the realtivly annymouseness of the web makes people a tad braver.I guess the thread is more about how do I stop myself from destroying the 'shreds of sanity he has left' by accident.

I don't judge him for anything of the things that have been revealed by the thread. I don't necessarily understand them, but that doesn't mean I judge him for it. I have a friend whose uncle is in jail for abusing him when he was 5 -- that's the sort of thing I would judge him over.

The Goons were also jumping on him for apparently grooming a 12-yr-old in this post (http://www.emo-corner.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3072&st=0&p=31652&#entry31652). But it seems to be more of a surprise at the fact that the kid knows he's bi at 12.
