Too bad I don't have all those personal messages. Phonetap was skeptical at first, which switched me, and I'm pretty sure Jake was skeptical all along although he was trying to get the guy to trip up on the forum!
:atu: I remember that. There were 3 girls on the boards back then. I remember them all typing emotional stuff. Some were even going to the "funeral".
No the death was fake, it was an alias. I thought it was covered in this thread but it isn't. THAT thread should be in the HOF too.
Even funnier and more cringeable given that he was the "scientist" dude who would go apeshit over the stupidity of anyone who believed in God or religion.
In fairness, a show of emotion and sorrow for the death of a poster is touching and heartfelt. In unfairness, it's completely and utterly gay.
