User blog comment:Candycoateddoom/My Reaction to Sophies News/@comment-3122172-20120105005841

I'm just finding out about this and I agree with you.

But I'm not leaving because of her because...well lots of people pull dumb stunts on the wiki everyday and it doesn't affect me and tbh, I never quite believed the whole dying story in the first place because of how frequently Sophie claimed to be leaving and then always returning sooner than was possible for someone with heart problems.

I'm not shocked that this happened and probably not as angry at Sophie as the rest of you because I never trusted the story, but I understand this reaction you're having. I want the people with power over me on this wiki to be mature and honest users. This little prank of Sophie's was anything but mature and honest.

It's a sickening matter to play into a game. Death isn't a joke and shouldn't be used as a cover story to make yourself feel well liked. On chat the other day, Sophie threatened that she was "Tired of living" and had everyone worried that she would hurt herself or worse. This happens on the internet everyday and people with the problems that Sophie pretended to have actually do commit suicide. We were all afraid of this happening to her, just to find out that it was a joke, even "joke" is too light of a word. Not a joke, but a lie.

A lot of users were scared for her when she was most likely just laughing over the reaction on her side of the screen. Sick and wrong to do to people who are supposed to be your friends. That's just sad and disgusting. I'm sorry. Hate away if you want.

I can't help being upset about what this lie has done to the people on the wiki who loved Sophie, and anybody who approves of this or thinks someone so untrustworthy should be in a position of power needs to think again about what they're saying.
