Am I the only one who finds Troy’s description of a tragic suicide offensive?
“Many [dark markets] with their operators in jail or dead (it didn't work out so well for the operator of AlphaBay)”
- CiPHPerCoder 9y agoI didn't catch the implication of suicide there. I figured he was gunned down and then saw the headline and figured "oh, arrested, yeah that sounds like it not working out very well" and moved on.
- aaron695 9y agoYes, it was a little disappointing on an otherwise humorous and informative article, but I'm sure it was just a slip and he'd change it if he spent more time thinking the wording over. PS You are OT for this thread, hence I hope the reason for the current downvotes.
- EnFinlay 9y agoNo, I didn't find it offensive. And characterizing a suicide by someone who broke multiple laws, got rich doing so, and then being unwilling to face the laws as "tragic" is a bit disingenuous.
- buildbuildbuild 9y agoI have struggled a lot with depression and can assure you that all suicide is tragic. edit: sorry, not trying to be argumentative. It's just a very personal topic for me having known victims. I wish you the best :)
- EnFinlay 9y agoI too wish you the best, sorry for coming across so aggressively.
- brokenmachine 9y agoI love seeing nice people on the internet. group hug!!
