Definitely Keep: For Darwin's Eyes
Alright, this has the link that the other two didn't. The first 2 quote the article exactly. Haven't heard of too many people dieing from gaming, maybe this qualifies for an award.

Definitely Toss: Other
Sorry, but we don't write stories - the submitters do. No story, no acceptable submission, and no chance to see your name in a future book.

Neutral: For Darwin's Eyes
This has the verifiable link - I still think it's too common though! There was another guy a couple of years ago that did exactly the same thing

As teh other moderators say -- this has the link, and so we'll include it for Darwin's attention. But this is the second instance, and I still think there are elements of mental issues here...
