Ok thats sad.
An 80yo man suicided off my friends building on the weekend. 18 floors up from his balcony, landed on a fence and into too many peices to mention.
The day before introduced his daughter to the reception staff.
Knowing that she would soon have to deal with them.

You’d have more chance of gun reform passing the US senate than an anti-cyberbullying law.
Will be interesting to see how it goes.
It it were to happen here, we’d have to shut the game day thread down.
