The only thing I know about Bear is that I always associated his forum presence with peace and rationale in a community ridden with seemingly endless loathing.
Here was a boy 18 years of age and whose maturity and pursuit for peace always made me feel like an idiot child.
Internet permits us to amplify our aggression and be the kind of bullies we would never dare to be in real life. If this is a universal truth, I can scarcely imagine what Bear must have been like in person.
It's always a tragedy when someone dies so young, but it is an almost sickening perversion of life when it is a person whose soul was so warm that it penetrated the detatched, faceless presence of the Internet and touched people thousands of miles apart.
[color=#33CC00]All of us sympathize, Bear was the remarkable person, and thanks Cannon that has told to us truth. I very strongly sympathize with family of Bear. Eternal memory. R.I.P. :(
I think this is the least i can do, i didn't know him personally but i read many of his post when i was just a beginner here. All i can say he was a good person. I decided to make this sign:
i want to offer this to anyone who wants to put this in his sign as a memorial of Bear...
I don't plan on showing my face again for a long time, but I feel that this is an exception.
Bear was really an exceptional person, in every way. I'd like to think of him as a friend, although, truthfully, I hardly knew him. I hope that a person as filled with peace and calm as he was will always live on in memory.
