You obviously DON'T sympathise, because this is one of the most callous things I've had the misfortune to read here.

Oh, and there's also the little fact that you don't seem to care how your remarks are affecting his very deeply shellshocked family.

I think KangarooJaqui says it all. You are unbelievably insensitive. She was kind enough to use the world 'callous." You ought to be ashamed. (to put it very mildly)

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and try to be as tactful as I can - Tact has never really been a strong characterof mine, so I beg your forgiveness in advance, but I just want to say one thig in response to this...

No one is forcing you to read this thread, and I think it is very presumptuous to come into a public forum so soon after a loss such as the one you have suffered, and start slamming people because they voice an opinion about it that you don't like.

Your grief is understandable, and I can respect that, but when you bring stuff like this into a public forum, you are going to encounter things you probably don't want to read - that's part of discussion in a public forum, when you are dealing with people from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, personal histories, and belief systems.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, that this topic is probably very painful for you, justifiably, but don't be blaming others for making the pain worse - no one here is to blame, and neither are you.
