Long story short somebody aired out a mentally unstable person's dirty laundry on Twitter and that sparked a chain of events that lead to that mentally unstable person's suicide after the angry mob online tore them down and they lost their employment.
Basically my post says that before you run online and try to air someone out consider the fact that once you put something like that out online the person you put it out about will likely always be held to that standard.
They called this victim blaming and killed my account.
The fact that that lead to a permaban is absurd. That place is straight up not a message forum for people to go discuss anything. It's an echo chamber for people who agree with their mods. If anything else is said that a mod doesn't like you're gone.

Can people ever rise above their worst actions? On the internet the answer to that question is no. If you did something bad but you turned your life around you'll likely never amount to more than who you were at your worst online.
I can't say what Quinn's objective was in her actions but I can say what the result was. That lead to a chain of events that ended a person's life. That's a hell of a thing to go to sleep at night knowing you contributed to in any way at all. People need to reflect on this the next time someone decides to go on Twitter and make a post to expose someone. You have to know that when you do something like that you will ruin someone else possibly for the rest of their life because online people will always be held to their worst.
