It could be guilting those who harrassed and bullied him. But it's probably just highlighting how bad it was for him.

To me, it's pretty clear KiwiFarms were a major contributing factor to their sucide.




To my knowledge there was a thread with ~13 pages of comments making fun of near, but nothing threatening or harmful to his life. So far as I know the true identity of near was never known - so it's not even like the mean internet comments were intruding on his life. Can you link to the mean things (or an archive of them) that the KiwiFarms people did or said that drove near to suicide? If not, can you summarize the things they said or did?
