Leia?

[NimbleJack3]

Seeing as how I've only been here on and off for ~6 months now, I'm not too up-to-date on old issues. I've noticed that people have pink lightsabers incorporated into their avatars, and apparently it's in memory of someone called Leia. Who is he/she, and what exactly happened? If it's not too sad or sensitive to talk about, of course.

Aw crap. Now I'm sad. My condolences to the parents, for what it's worth.

As Max said, they are now both permanently banned, and upon looking at their profiles I don't think they have visited in a while.

I am sure they would appreciate the gesture though.

So that's the tale behind the pink lightsabers. I never would have imagined something like this. This is truly saddening. It may have been before my time on this site began, but news like this is always painful to hear, no matter the date.
