RIP Ed Piskor, an excellent comic creator.

A friend forwarded the suicide note to me this morning. I regret reading it.
Heartbreaking on a human level.

It really is.

The whole thing is just awful.

Issue being is Alex DeCampi, a 2000AD contributor is actually named in his letter as one of those who drove him to kill himself but no one seems to be saying anything about it, nothing from Rebellion or 2000AD themselves, guess they are hoping it will just go away.

I think ECBT2000AD covered it on one of their podcasts but thats about it.

I am guessing more will come out about it if all alligations are taken up and investigated, just a sad state of affairs that the internet police jumped on it and led to someone taking their lives.

Too many keyboard warriors and they have no idea what they say can actually affect someone on the other side of the screen.

So try and recognize the irony of your own post, in all love.

Pickoff named people pretty much at random, and then an entirely predictable parade of opportunistic creeps picked that up as a banner to harass those people online. I'm not entirely sure what kind of statement 2000ad would make other than "we are aware of the parade of opportunistic creeps" or what benefit to them there would be in doing so.

Feel a little that this thread might stray into some rather disturbing territory if we're not careful. If nothing else is does highlight that the currently blended social and legacy media spheres are reacting in dangerous ways. 

Trial by (social) media is becoming too commonplace.  It is leading to tragic consequences too often. Ultimately only a handful of people know what really happened.

Perhaps something best left alone other than acknowledging the passing?
