I know every death is terrible but when you can put a name to a face it's particularily heartbreaking. He seems like such a nice man. To lose one's grand daughter and probably daughter is beyond the pale.

Makes one think of the Titanic tragedy. It didn't matter how much money you had, or what status in society you held...what mattered after the tragedy was, were you on the list of the saved, or the list of the lost?

Free Republic? Sounds like censorship to me.

Don't know what got pulled, but yes, it is censorship. I practice it in my house, too.

I didn't ask for the original dumb comment or my reply to be removed.

You, of course, know that removing posts here is not censorship. Right?

While I feel terrible for Mr. Attenborough,I feel terrible for the families of the other 55,0000 who died there too. Many who dont have a dime and no place to turn.

No, it's keeping order and decorum. Until we grew big, it was a free for all. When we got big, a lot of riff-raff were attracted - still sre.

So we had to put the Mods into play; who by the way, do a hell of a job!

The news tonight reported hundreds of children wandering around without parents or families and nowhere to go. The carnage caused by this disaster is impossible to put into words.

What was so bad about the comment? Was it vulgar?

It's not censorship, this is a non-government entity and a private forum.

If you have issues with that, you can start your own forum and let any and all comments ramble where they will.

It's relatives of a celebrity including a 14 year old girl and it's certainly not made any less tragic by it.
