Not everyone here is a bully, some of us are searching for a connection with skating and a community. I see it often here and in social media, the harassment and constant negative commentary weighs heavy on some people, so much that they delete an account but it doesn’t remove the feeling that people are picking out all these things you already worry are wrong and obvious to the world.
We won’t know the cause of Henry’s death and like said before, it doesn’t matter and is only to satisfy morbid curiosity.
But it’s a real problem, I’ve seen it here since the early 2000’s and endured it myself. The people dishing it out are obviously built differently than those who take the brunt of it and can’t let it go. I don’t mind a little playful harassment but the aggressive hate has got to go. I saw it on Henry’s posts and having skated with him and hung out a bit, what kind a and thoughtful person not deserving of it.
Anyways, rip to him. My condolences to his friends and families who have to put the pieces together and go on without him. Have had multiple friends and family members take their own lives, it’s brutal to move past.
