Yikes, about people using this as a way to insult him. That's awful. That's Twitter for you... I get being concerned, but insulting him is attention-seeking at its worst.

Seriously. In a short period of time, this man has not only had to bury his best friend, but he also had to do what no parent should ever have to endure and bury his child. For people to insult a man when he’s at this emotional state is the absolute lowest of the low. Social media has allowed people to say whatever they want and really not have to face consequences, some exceptions aside. People have found they can be mostly anonymous and say things to get reactions on the internet, and mostly, they stay in the shadows, so there is no consequence for them. And they also likely have never really had to deal with adult situations, and probably have a limited social life, so they don't have any perspective on how shitty what they are doing actually is. Also, there have always been people who just find trolling funny. One of my friends growing up loved to say and do stuff just to make people mad. He absolutely lived for it. I'm old, so social media and the usage of the word troll wasn't around, but he absolutely fit that bill. And these days, it seems like being an edgelord is a cool thing for trolls to do (normal people think edgelords are cringy AF as far as I can tell), so they come up with some of the worst shit they can to get that reaction. I hope karma kicks those people on the balls as had as it can, with pointed steel toe boots. They need a reality check. Trolling can be fun to a point... but when it starts getting personal, that's when it goes too far. Being a Michigan football fan, it's fun to mess with Ohio St. and Michigan St. fans (and I'm sure vice versa). When people start getting personal, I always back off. Usually, for the hardcore personal trolls, that annoys them more than me getting personal back at them. LOL

Honestly, I think attention seeking is what got us here in the first place. Some dude just cuts the clip from Kliq This with no context and posts it for clicks. I'm not saying Kevin isn't hurting, I'm not saying he doesn't need people to rally around him - including his fans, but I don't think the original account that posted it was doing it out of the kindness of their heart.

And, yea, trolling in an instance like that (just giving fans of another team shit) is normal and fun. That's not the kind of "real life" trolling I was talking about, though I should have clarified or provided examples. Like the guy I mentioned above would do shit like tell NASCAR fans tasteless Dale Ernhart jokes after he died on the track. That kind of bullshit.

It's been nice to be able to interact positively with Buckeye fans the past two years. LOL
