Haha well he wasn't that blatant about it. He just attached my name as an antagonizing factor on a suicidal post, which makes it associable. It was subtle enough that people are going to be inclined to think "That The Guindo fellow must have done something terrible to make Stephen attach his name to this post, even if Stephen won't say why!"
nah but. he's 17, so he's of an age where high school level drama is actually serious business, and I don't doubt that he's honestly got issues with depression and whatnot.
It does come off as attention-seeking, but that doesn't mean it's not sincere from his perspective.
Blar, teenagers. Sometimes it's hard to remember that once I was a douche that did things like this on occasion, too. (Although, really, that was mostly 'taking things on the interwebs too seriously' and not 'threatening to kill self over the interwebs in giant passive-aggressive fit for attention'.)
He'll probably get over it. In the meantime, at least you've locked down the amount of rage!delete that probably would've happened.
You know, when you guys started hanging out, I was thinking, "oh man, that's cool, I hope this means that he really is past all that dumb wanky shit people pin on him and this can be chill." But here we are.
It's just a bit ridiculous, how upset people can get over the littlest details. It's unbelievably petty to get hung up at a person for using similar icons. You're both Rocket Grunts, guys, it's not like there's a huge variety to go with. I hope byebyeagogo will come back soon enough.
You've tried pretty hard to handle the situation as solidly as possible, apologizing for what mistakes you've made and trying to play damage control. I can only hope that he'll be able to get a bit of perspective and realize that also.
Yeah I'm waiting for her to sign on so I can apologize for his behaviour and assure her nothing will come of it.
auuugh such a frustrating situation to be in.
ngl I am really disappointed in him. After he made that personal HMD post and said he was going to try to change, he goes and pulls that? Dang, bro. Just. That's all I got. Dang.
Feels like he was just doing that to appease his critics, hoping they'd stop caring since he looked like he was giving in. I haven't seen any appreciable effort on his part to follow any of the advice, outside of how he did stop responding to anon comments logged in and stopped trying to defend himself when he got namedropped.

He got a lot of people urging him to seek professional help, and I hope he does, because he really needs it.
