RIP WitchyWitchy

As someone who plays the odd freeroll and so a "freetroller" apparently despised by this "community", I thought I would waste five minutes of my life to post. It's idiots like me, who were duped into signing up for poker via this site, that fund this platform for scumbags to make jokes about the untimely death of a woman who died in tragic circumstances. So I've decided to play at another poker site, where I won't be associated with FTR or contribute anything towards it's existence. I have also emailed my current site to explain why I won't be playing there any more. I doubt it will remove FTR as an affiliate, but I can live in hope.

Please go ahead and ridicule me. I would also really appreciate the honor of being banned.

he has a point, a post worth thinking about

I also find the attitude of many people in this thread highly disrespectful. I have no idea why many of you think not knowing someone is an excuse to be so completely obnoxious towards them, and to the memory of their friend who has passed on.

More generally, there are many on this forum whose behavior towards those not in the 'clique' is so obnoxious and blatantly trollish that it is reminiscent of junior high children taunting a new arrival in the class, only less mature. On several occasions I have seen someone innocently posting a friendly hello on this forum only to be immediately trolled away. At the very least you should have a disclaimer to say that strangers aren't welcome here.

I also won't be reading or posting here any more and I would also appreciate the honor of being banned.

This thread was plenty respectful until tit-toot warrior said 'nobody cares, how classy'. Kinda asking for it.

Please show me one single friendly hello where the OP was a/ english literate and b/ not just posting for the freerolls and they got 'trolled away'. Just one. Go on.

Incidentally your general grasp of english and forum posting in general more than qualifies you to join the 'clique' as you call it. If you want to learn then stick around but don't expect a load of sympathy about someone we've never met from someone we've never met when they're making passive aggressive comments about something we never said.

Yeah it's just makes me think about the fact that there's an army of internet people who's sole purpose in life is to be outraged and butt-hurt at other people on the internet.


A guy who nobody here knows starts a thread about someone who even less of us know, in an act of grotesque tragedy porn. Why is the manner and even fact of this woman's death relevant to anyone other than her friends and family and MAYBE the local people in her community? This is about as relevant to us as when the news talks about some random young white woman who was murdered in Oshkosh, Wisconsin or whatever and I'm supposed to care about it in Marietta, Georgia. I don't care, I don't give a fuck, and I feel the same about this. I feel about the same modicum of pity and condolence for this woman and her surviving folks as I do for the scads of other people who die untimely deaths on a daily basis throughout the world.

Obviously I'm not alone in that because 80% of the responses to the thread weren't serious, nor should they be.

So then, an envoy from the aforementioned butt-hurt army shows up and just pounds the outrage button on his keyboard a few times before hitting enter. The catharsis of fake outrage must feel pretty good, because another came out of the woodwork after that. It's ridiculous, and ridicule was the appropriate response to it.
