I certainly can understand someone posting that a friend,family member has died,but there are a few people that just regularly post about  people in the news, that have died.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

And?  Is there some term of use violation involved? So what then?  

I'm more interested in reading threads about well-known people who have died than someone's family member or friend I don't know anything about.

 

I suggest if a thread is not a TOU violation and it bothers you, don't read it.

I haven't died yet and that's most important to me.

Those who post deaths are always moved by the passing. If someone who posts is not particularly moved by the death, then a magnificent role is appropriate.

@goldensrbest, I must be missing something here, most people would be more familiar with someone famous, more so than a personal family member, I don't get what your point is?????

@Hooty, you're not the only one; I don't get it either.

When posting about love ones that have died, it is finding compassion, helping in ones loss, but famous people we do not know , i don't understand what the reason is.

I rarely have my TV on, so usually these Forums are my first source of hearing about someone's departure.   For instance, when Michael Parks died, I never read it anywhere else except here.

Note to self:  Don't post when I die.
