[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course GOMI didn't kill her.  Alice just hounded her and mocked her endlessly.  I'm sure that didn't contribute positively to her well being.  And now Alice is posting about her death on GOMI, and essentially profiting off of it.  And so the circle is complete.[/quote]

1+. Of course GOMI & its ilk wasn't the primary or probably even a significant reason for her (alleged) suicide. But it is also ridiculous how quickly the extraordinary toxicity of internet culture is just waived off, e.g. "don't read it," "well you made your life public," "she's crazy anyway"...  And then we wonder why everyone's (and esp. our kid's) mental health is flatlining? [/quote]

+2 I will never understand why people think being outright cruel to somebody else, particularly somebody with a known history of suicidal ideations, is okay. It's not like they were just saying "I think it's inappropriate for somebody to profit off their child's stories," they were (and probably are) saying horrific things. [/quote]
