On the other hand, Keith Olbermann, Sean Penn, Rosie O'Donnell, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, Fidel Castro and others are an occasion to celebrate.

What is the proper waiting period?
Again, if the President died this evening there would be people on this site dancing. That is wrong. There would be people pointing out his flaws. That is acceptable.
There is a time & a place for that, BUT not right after death. I was brought up to see that as a common courtesy afforded the recently deceased.
Thank you for pointing out my error.
You should have used a comma instead of a slash (/) and you should not have used a colon at all. Also, you should not end a sentence with a preposition, as you used “for: to end a sentence.
Correcting a stranger’s grammar on a public forum might also be considered classless, though I do not mind.
Heaven will be full of redeemed sinners. They may even be a redeemed blogger or two but that’s a stretch.
As much as I DESPISE 0Muslim (oh, and I do!!!), I would remain silent in such a pass.
I figure a person's actions during their life are their own reward. I may have forgotten restraint after someone's death ONCE on this website, but if I did, I regret it.
It might have been Lars-Erik Nelson. I'll have to check. :)
I think marrying Iman was positive influence in his life. He pretty stopped all that persona, but led a quiet normal life with her and their daughter.
So do you bring this to the attention of others on this site. When people are cheering the death of certain individuals, even villains, do you point out the inappropriateness of this behavior? IS one allowed to say anything about the deceased that is not positive? How long must one wait before saying anything bordering on criticism? I only ask so as not to offend in the future.
“They may even be a redeemed blogger or two but that’s a stretch.”
Thanks for the smile.
He was so evil he recited the Lord’s prayer during the tribute concert for Freddy Mercury.
Let’s all sit around all day singing Bringing In The Sheep . No , thank you . I’d guess 90% or our past and present musical idols are athiests . That’s their problem . If they push it in their music it is up to us to decide whether or not to listen . Bowie - for better or worse - lived his life on his terms and made a bundle . Good for him .

Why don’t you scroll down the recent posts and look at mine on tolerance by Fulton Sheen.
I will concede that cheering someone’s death is wrong, but recognizing who they are is not.
Nothing that would have changed your life.
For the life of me I swear I used a semi colon & I can’t find a for w/ a period after it. Could be the wine. Or not.

Sure; blame the wine. That is like the shooter blaming the gun.
Actually I have pointed out when I thought it was inappropriate & no there is no time period set in stone. It felt wrong to me because he just died. I think most everyone deserves that grace period after death before the knives come out. This post just really hit me the wrong way.
“So the dialogue runs on,with deadpan seriousness and wide-eyed enthusiasm. The curia, the friends agree, is a great place not only for serious study but also for lighter amusements such as gaming, horsemanship, and hunting. Just think of the dinner parties at the papal court - witty gossip, along wih fantastic food served by beautiful, young, hairless boys. And for those whose tastes do not run in the direction of Ganymede, there are the abundant pleasures of Venus.”
- The Swerve by Stephen Greenblatt
... about the recovery, after many centuries, of the manuscript of Lucretius’ DE RERUM NATURA, by one “Poggio of Florence” who had served as papal secretary.
I recommend it.
Or the olive blaming the martini......
I quit doing "Recent Posts" on FR 18 years ago.
I always do the "Articles" view - something about my organizational mind, I guess.
My dear old mother just recently exposed me to the great Fulton Sheen.
I had to fish up his YouTube videos for her.
