Don’t worry, there will be Freepers here soon enough who will claim that this 7 year old needs to man up and just deal with it.

My guess is that he is talking about the other bullying threads where some FReepers feel that the bulliers should be be prosecuted for anything from manslaughter to felony murder because the bullying victims were so totally debilitated and destraught from the bullying that they had no other possible course of action than committing suicide, thereby making the bulliers guilty by proxy of either deliberately or negligently killing the suicide victim (depending on the extent to which you are willing to make other people responsible for your actions). Other FReepers on those threads take the position that the victims should just "man up" and deal with the bullying rather than committing suicide. It seems a more prevalent view on those threads is that bulliers should be charged with whatever crimes they may have committed (stalking, harassment, assault, or whatever) but that seeking to elevate the charges because the punishment for those crimes doesn't seem harsh enough since the victim is dead is inconsistent with conservative principles like rule of law and personal responsibility.
