Just to make the point, none of his family or friends considered it a suicide, rather an OD. The chat room logs are what upset people the most, people goating him into taking more and more drugs.
Brandon had a real belief he could handle a lot of drugs, and he manipulated a few shrinks to get all the drugs he needed. It was a horrible situation, and the worst was seeing his mom and brother on the John Walsh show talking about this.
Taking chat room logs out of their environment, things look quite bad normally, but in this situation they looked utterly brutal. Ultimately in this case, the fault was squarely on Brandon himself, not those that egged him on in the chat room.
