That is what we have always done in the past.

This is a unique live thread.

Different from all that have preceded it.

Different protocol should be in place,

"This is a unique live thread."

YES....and it would be nice if those here acted like Ronald Wilson Reagan did.....positively.

Ya know, Ronald Reagan made it ok to love America again - one of the things to love about America is what we are doing now. Think about it, Don-o, and ignore the comments you don't want to deal with.

Then it should have been stated up front and should have been called a Memorial Thread.

We have had other threads for tragic events and no one thought we should stop making rather catty remarks about various people involved in the tragic event.

My suggestions would be in the future to have two threads, if that's okay with Jim. One thread would be for non-catty remarks - no negative remarks allowed at all. The other thread we will be free to speak about what we see and hear. It's obviously the only way to satisfy everyone.

I must say I have spent more time passing by threads where people are complaining (including mine) abuot what this thread is about that by the actual catty remarks themselves.
