I do follow local and national media on twitter so I usually hear or read quickly when someone passes.  Yet, I do miss some like Bill Paxton a while back and if not for here I would not have known as soon as I did.  I appreciate knowing.

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.


It's a race to see who can post it first. Kind of morbid.

I'm still a tad confused, the passing of a famous or well known person is always a topic of conversation.

I don't understand the reason for a lot of the posts here. But what the heck, if it's not against standards who cares. If I'm not interested I pass it by.

Some aren't going to be happy until this forum closes - I'm convinced now.   The whining about every thread is getting to be obnoxious 

 

If you don't like a thread, don't read it or post on it

I don't see it as a race at all. I appreciate seeing when someone we recognize has died.

So that's the complaint, that it's posted here?  It's not a violation of the usage terms so I guess scrolling is an option..........

note to self: always wait at least an hour after someone dies to possibly post it. that way it doesnt look like a "race." LOL
