Ironically, Nesseth Tweeted the following this morning:"Have to be up in 10 minutes...oh well. Warped tour today! I'd say I'm excited, but that's not enough.": Some of the comments you'll encounter for this news item are disgusting. Frankly, it is the result of the environment we've created here at Lambgoat. For ten years we've watched a subset of our commenters revel in some sort of depraved virtual party, where anonymity compels little boys in their parents' basements to post the most inflammatory remarks they can conjure up. Sadly, the spectre of death does little to temper the festivities, and in fact exacerbates the festering wound that is the Lambgoat comment section. We're not proud of this, but it is what it is. The people you loathe here do in fact exist, and the Internet can be a disheartening place. But while we do attempt to delete the most insensitive and vulgar of comments, removing the ability to comment entirely will not make the Internet a more civilized place, nor improve society at large. If you are someone that truly knew and cared for Miss Nesseth, you should absolutely not read our comments section. If you do, know that whatever negativity you encounter is not directed at Taylor personally. It is merely an outlet for a small group of pathetic people. Know that they exist, feel sorry for them, and move along to something productive and genuinely therapeutic. We're sorry for your loss.
