It was sort of darkly funny to be reading along as you're quoting the guy then all of a sudden hit so matter-of-factly, "He's dead, but you can still get the thing from...." A real splash of cold water.
- kragen 11y agoWhat would be great would be if someone would take up UTF-8B again. I mentioned his death because otherwise you might think he lost interest in the project, but no, he lost interest in living.
- nightpool 11y ago> he lost interest in living I get what you're trying to accomplish with the parallel construction, but that's a pretty callous way to describe it :/
- lsaferite 11y agoHe died from a massive drug overdose right?
- kragen 11y agoYes, although we didn't find out for sure until several months later. It was too massive to be an accident.
- kragen 11y agoI'm sorry I upset you. I didn't mean to.
- roghummal 11y ago>I'm sorry (if) I upset you. I didn't mean to. The poster didn't express that he was upset. He expressed an opinion that your description was callous.
- nightpool 11y agoI wasn't upset, and I certainly wasn't trying to imply I was. But that doesn't change that it makes me a little sad to see people refer to suicide with such a lack of empathy.
- kragen 11y agoI am surprised that you read my remark as lacking empathy, but I have deleted the remarks I had written here about my actual feelings about the event, because this doesn't seem like a very promising conversation.
