This post seems to exemplify the attitude he's had such difficulties with.

Sad post about how he's had to deal with his brothers death while people he barely knows seemingly use him as a way to pretend they are connected to his brother and the response is "oh cool, more about Aaron".




C'mon, no need to jump down his throat. None of us would be reading this right now if the deceased were a random guy in Minnesota.

And I agree with what I believe the commenter's intention was, which is to say this piece both humanized Aaron in a way other posts don't, and it gives a window into the personal tragedy of suicide.
