: : And while you're right in your assessment of the situation, your anger should be focusses on BChrist who made the comment and perhaps mike c who is as much as a douche for sticking up for BChrist's comment.
: I'm not being a douche. I'm insulting Hapless, the SOB that he is for being downright hateful and silly. You're all a bunch of silly little kids acting like you shit your pants. All pointing fingers at the other saying they did it. Just grow up and learn to wipe your own asses. You guys are such immature 16 year olds.
by calling people silly little kids and immature 16 year olds. I must be nice to always fall back upon that ignorant internet staple. And you are a douche, to say to least. You associate and defend someone and their comment that was completely uncooth and wrong. Yes, this is the internet, but that shouldn't give people free reign to abandon all civility--including yourself. There is no excuse for insensitive comments about people's death. There have been people banned on this board for threatening people or even wishing they would die. The same should be done for those callous enough to joke about another person's passing. And who are you to judge the validity of someone sharing their emotional pain with strangers on the internet? I'm sure it is not the case, but what if this was a person's only outlet?
The internet shouldn't be a way out for showing class and the basis of humanity. It's not overly sympathetic to feel bad for someone's loss. A lot of us have been there and can remember when kind words were all you had to keep you going. So next time, think for once instead of trying to stir shit up. There are some lines that should never be crossed.
