You know we have a sticky thread for those who enjoy poetry?
Why don't we have a sticky thread for Obituaries/Remembrance for people who die that none of us know personally. We could call it Celebrity Remembrance/Obituary.
Just a thought, what do you think.

No it is not.
The sooner admin get ya the better as far as I am concerned.
You never used to be as " nasty " as you have been recently so.....something must have happened to you.............oooh I am so tempted to say something, but I won't. Mrs777 would batter me.

I must admit, it isn't in great taste and I wouldn't post the comments Ben has, but I do find equally distasteful the mordant, maudlin, pious mourning we indulge in when some vapid celebrity or other shuffles off the mortal coil. Whilst not on a scale of the Princess Di outbreak when the Isle of Wight nearly disappeared in a flood of tears, it really does irritate when we eulogise about these folk as if they were one of our own.
Meanwhile another 200,000 children die because they can't get fresk drinking water or basic medication.
But we're fine with that. Cos they ain't famous, don't sell papers and don't matter.
I do feel sorry for the family and the person regardless of what they did. But just because they are famous does not mean we should mourn their passing any more, or any less.
I don't think Ben has warranted the attention of admin any more than people who, like you Mr K, stir up political threads that enrage more than a few on here. Or people like me who just post arse slackeningly inane nonsense. Some may find that equally distasteful and distressing. Like everything on here, your opinion of someone's passing does not have to be shared by anyone else.
I always think, in situations like this, if you have nothing positive to say, then don't say it. That does not mean however, I implicitly agree with what is being said. A person dying is sad enough, however our reactions to it say more about our own needs and perceptions than it does the person who has snuffed it. (I'm Sorry I can't do the whole flowery religious "gone to sleep" nonsense. Their dead, deal with it, cos they have.)

Res the whole point of my comment has sadly been missed.
The reason this thread was started was in answer to the Wendy Richards thread. Powers summed it up nicely.
A person that thinks in that manner and says what was said, is quite frankly nasty, in very very poor taste, and was used to wind people up.
The comment was disgusting from somebody who I thought knew better. Or was he just waiting for a reply like I gave?
Bottom line is this thread was started with a clear purpose in mind. I do not know Goody or Richards, but feel sorry for their families for sure.
Comments like that should either remain in ones head,or like some would say about the Sun...in the gutter.
I am only suprised that David Camerons son, did not enter into the topic. For just like Richards or Goody, Little cammeron did not know us. Why should that sad death be any different to others?

I genuinely thought the sticky was a good idea.
I didn't post it on any of the death threads simply because I try to avoid thread hijacking whenever I can.
I must admit, I read it that way too - i.e. just at face value, no hidden agenda - are you getting parnoid Mr K or am I missing something here?
IN EDIT: OK, I just read the other thread. Mouth in action before brain in gear here, sorry

Sorry Mr K, I read your post as meaning that you felt Ben deserved to be punished by Admin for some reason... that is what my post was about in the main.
As for the intentions of the poster, if it was intended to wind people up, then is it any different to many other threads posted? Perhaps even some by you and I?
Is it the lack of respect for Wendy Richards that bothers you, or the lack of respect for your post? Maybe both?
I totally agree with your sentiments regarding death, feeling sorry for the families who have to deal with it and the poor young Cameron boy. That for me is where the sympathy and support should be directed if required.
Death, like some other subjects, is very emotive and almost . People deal with it differently. I don't hold truck with this enforced reverence of the dead, if I respect them, I do so dead or alive.
As I say, most of your comments as regards the subject I agree with, I just don't feel Ben deserves to face the wrath of admin any more than any other posters on her, me and you included. It doesn't mean I agree with what he posted but I also don't jump to conclusions as to the intentions behind why he posted it either. Only Ben knows that really.

And DG your point is................?
I'm not sure if it's your sole purpose today to get into a fight or to be controversial but I'm really not interested in being the one who helps you along with that.
You made a statement that was untrue, I pointed it out. Nothing more, nothing less.
I'll leave you to whatever it is you're doing.

DG I really don't like being called a liar, however it is expressed.
Clear your mind, read my posts on this thread again and apologise please or not if you prefer.
I don't need to clear my mind, thank you.
You posted that you avoid hijacking where you can... to post the statement that you posted on the thread about Wendy Richards had nothing to do with her or her life and had no respect for her or her fans. That was hijacking at it's worst in my view.
I'm afraid I won't be apologising for thinking that.
