Starblade of "Fuck you, I'm a dragon!" fame stabbed to death.
Some of you may recall the furry Starblade (real name Mathew Finnigan) from this wank in which he was lamenting that nobody wanted to eat him. Starblade was known for various eccentric exploits in the fandom, and recently was apparently afraid that someone was going to kill him. This was mostly dismissed as Starblade being delusional, as was common.

In a chilling turn of events, it has been confirmed through obituaries and Facebook that last week he was stabbed to death by his friend, James Torrey Hill.

To make this post even unfunnier, shortly after the news broke Arcturus posted the following journal to FurAffinity:

"and I can't help but be every so slightly amused.

Starblade, aka Matthew Finnegan, was murdered by a friend, according to news.

Being as someone who gave me a lot of shit, I can't help being a little happy. Even if they're dead, I can't say that I'm sad.

*gets more dewatches ooo*

The responses vary from 'Not cool, dude' to pats on the back for being the only person with 'balls'. He has been suspended for making the journal, but the moderators decided not to remove it as they felt the amount of his watchers giving him the third degree for his statement was a good thing.

Arcturus is no stranger to wank. Previously he was the owner of website that collected furry art and recieved flak for not removing pieces at the request of the original artists. He became known for his nasty attitude towards artists, as well as his epic tantrums when the site was shut down by its host for having 'cub porn'.

	Starblade's whole story is just really depressing. Arcturus isn't the only douche there, by a long shot. But all the people trying to argue in a reasonable tone with Arcturus and the other assorted douches really surprise me. I just don't expect that level of naivete on the internet any more.

	Huh. So, to sum up your point: trying to argue in a reasonable tone with people is a sign of naivete, as opposed to trying to set an example for how people should interact on the Internet? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	My "point" was that I was surprised. There was no prescription for behavior in my comment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Apologies for misidentifying your comment. It's a bit of a sore point for me. :/ (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's okay. I am bitter and jaded from far too many flamewars :P. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Sore point it may be, but you're starting to sound like a broken record whenever you bring it up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think it's just furry fandom. A lot of them seem to not understand how awful a lot of the people on the internet are. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The Starblade wank really depressed me the first time around. It's ridiculous, but you can also see he was in a lot of pain. People will argue with anyone, really. It's kind of astounding how often people don't realize that they can't change people's minds. Or how many realize it and argue anyway (raises hand). (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Or how many realize it and argue anyway. Also guilty! Often I can make myself leave well alone, but on certain subjects and with certain people, I just can't not. (Reply to this)(Parent)
