As I'm sure many readers here will already know, I love /b/, and to a smaller extent, 4chan in general.  But this evidence appears to be damning.

Anyone who's done their share of photoshopping should be able to look at that and see that it hasn't been edited for timestamps or content - only the reorganization of the details, for what I assume are "presentation" purposes.

This isn't the first time someone's threatened, as an Anon, to do some heavy violence (to themselves or others).  And this wouldn't be the first time it was followed through either.

But egging someone on, when you're unsure of their seriousness, is not a good idea.  There's a line between humor and prodding, being a /b/tard and just being retarded...

And things like this cross it.

Since the "chatroom" mentioned in all the coverage is unidentified, we don't know if they're referring to 4chan itself, but I would assume not, based on the descriptions of having usernames and the conversation that transpired.  The admin of that chatroom has denied that it happened... but it would be highly difficult to prove it had happened on 4chan, let alone inquire Moot about it.

Which begs the question:  have the police, or anyone of any authority, come across this "evidence" yet?

I don't know if this is entirely real or not, but I think it's worth people knowing about - worth consideration.

I love /b/ just as much as alot of other nerds out there do...

But sometimes, it just goes too far.
