# Ah man.
I've not seen the remarks to which this relates - I'm in no great hurry to search them out either.

Sadly, damningly, I am forced to the conclusion that it was only a mater of time before some bellend started up with this kind of crap.

Irrespective of whether or not you know/knew the individual in question, there's no call to be that abusive of other people's feelings.

IMHO.

# ^This. Very much.
Unfortunately, it started very shortly after the first announcement. There was an announcement at /talk which led to some very nasty suggestions for an invasion over to /board, and some even did. Sad times, sad times indeed.

# 'Some'.

# ^ This.
I did say "some", and I MEANT "some". I wouldn't post at all over at /talk if they were all like SOME of the people who were making the suggestions. And even that would be reasonable given the tone of the forum, but no, SOME of them had to come over to /board to make their point.

This is not meant to be a /talk vs. /board thing - that is far too trite for a dreadful event like this. But that is what SOME of them tried to do, and that cannot be denied.

I think that it's easy to see those who have been genuine through all of this, regardless of where they regularly post on an internet forum.

nobody will link to anything.

Well I certainly hope that people stop to check if these links exist before they start their witch hunt.

# As I've said above, I don't think he was deliberately trying to hurt me or anyone...
He's just been very insensitive.

Someone mentioned that they were sad about Nina and listening to some Prokofiev before bed, and he linked to a YouTube video for a song called "Strangers Die Every Day". There was a mention somewhere that Nina died the day after Ronnie James Dio and he said "And he made a huge contribution to the world!", and when someone mentioned humour being a way to deal with things, offered to tell some lorry jokes. That last one may just be a coincidence, but I doubt it.

# I'm not sure if calling him out on the board is the best reaction
I'm sure you'll agree that there's always someone in any dire situation who says something that makes you see red, and that looking back on those times, they really weren't important things.

I'd encourage you to not get caught up in the little things, they'll only bog you down.

# I'm not sure if calling him out on the board is the best reaction either...
But as I said above, I thought about gazzing him and didn't feel like I wanted to take it one to one.

I'm really not thinking too straight right now, so I'm pretty much 100% certain that I'll look back at this in a few days and think "Fuck, why did I do that?"... I just felt it needed to be said and this seemed to me to be the best way to say it, other than the aforementioned gaz, which I can't face the thought of right now.

# Well like I said earlier, it's not up to me how anyone else deals with these things.
I'm a bit worried where all this will lead, but all the best to you and yours. I hope the sun shines soon.
