I don't really know the guy, so I can't say what kind of horrible things he may or may not have done to all of you to make you seem so happy for his misfortune...
...but I *HAVE* been harassed because of Neopets and "friends" I met there, and all I can say is I really hope it never happens to any of you, or that you have people in your life who can give you more sympathy than y'all are giving him.
I've done some really dumb shit in the past on Neopets, and I take full responsibility for all of that, but at the end of the day, I've had everything from people repeatedly reporting me for stupid things (ehh, not really a big deal) all the way up to threatening to tell my parents & my job about things I've done and threatening to or actually sharing personal, intimate details of my life that I only trusted with a small few people (big deal, legit could have cost me my family, my job, and a lot more than just a few pixels on neopets.com). There was definitely a period of my life where I sank into depression because of the way certain people treated me and talked about me - YES, because of Neopets.
Did I bring it on myself? Sure, I could have been smarter all those years ago.
But nobody deserves it. Ever.
& I wish I'd been stronger to handle it at the time.
The dude has a point.
I agree, the boards on Neopets probably aren't the best place to talk about it, but still.
Make acquaintances, but at the end of the day, know who - if anyone - you can *really* trust.
I've seen people on Neopets be vicious and nasty and capable of bullying to the extent that I hope none of you ever have to deal with.
AND it's not like I'm some horrible, evil person - just a girl who used to have severe self-esteem issues, who ended up trusting the wrong people.
Some of you won't care, clearly.
But nothing that happens on neopets.com is worth what this guy claims he's been experiencing.
I just really hope it never happens to any of you, honestly, because it sucks.
