Likely NSFW due to website. I don't see anything perverse with ublock on.

This is one of my favorite reads, I tear up each time that I read it. Sean Smith was a great person to many people in a vast virtual world, when I play Eve, I'm always thinking about how the way we interact in Nullsec was shaped by this man. This is one of my favorite quotes from this article.

Gamers took to Twitter to honor his memory. “Sean Smith had it right,” tweeted one. “Use diplomacy in real life and only fight wars with other gamers online.” Some posted YouTube videos. “To the rest of the world, his name was Sean Smith,” reads the text overlay of one as it fades into dreamy space clouds. “To us, his name was Vile Rat.”
