I know it's not RPS, and maybe our minds are occupied by more sombre musings for the moment, but this was breaking news when I left home Friday night.
Here is the moment when a crazed nazi seamfembot struck down the beloved Stephen Timms. As far as I can make out using the searching stick, nobody else in b3ta has managed to source a photo of the assault.

I didn't open it, but and as I was walking upstairs, I remembered a quote from it.
I really didn't know Jessie, but what has happened is completely fucked. Now that I've seen some of the photos I realise just how young she was, and from what you lot have been saying it looks like the world's lost a genuine and vibrant soul.
I just wanted to say that you should be selfish. You should indulge yourselves in company of the people you love, because right now there is a man out there who must be the loneliest man in the world. That quote was 'fate is at your elbow' - you never know if the bastard upstairs will take them from you without warning or without the chance to tell them what you feel.
...and as far as FP's go, I agree that there should be at least one with a link to the news. This is no in-joke, this is a bunch of fuckwits showing that deep down they really care, and I think any visitor that would criticise b3ta for caring wouldn't quite fit in here anyway.

I'm not sure there are many other b3tans who would inspire these outpourings. But Jessie had taken the time to get know a lot of us, invited us to her and the Prof's bashes and made us feel so very welcome - even as newbies still finding our feet. She was a very genuine person and I just cannot believe I am talking about her in the past tense.

b3ta is actually used by a lot more people than the regulars.
