How many times are we going to go through this? No one should be crazy enough to take a child's life over a video game, and neither should it have come to the conclusion that it did and that guy went to that kid's house. But there are some people who do far worse over the internet who really go out of their way to hurt people's emotions, just to be a form of entertainment. Its these kind of people I have no sympathy for, its these kind of people that I could care less if they burned in hell for all eternity. People should never be harmful towards others, words do hurt more than some would like to think. Just because it doesn't affect one person does not mean it affects everyone the same way.
While you may feel it was unnecessary to go out and harm this kid (which I can agree, even though I hate that sort of behavior with a passion), not everyone will tolerate the actions of others in the same way. And I for one, will not tolerate your bereavement of others by telling them, in the same fashion as this kid, that they are horrible people because they have an opinion on this matter different than yours. And you have just rejected your own argument by attempting at making others become riled by your own insult at them.
If words mean nothing over the internet, why are you trying to belittle others by making them sound inferior to you?
