As creator of this thread, all I can say is I opened it primarily
to help me clarify my thoughts and feelings on this sensitive matter;
inviting mudcat community to respond positively and debate and share ideas and opinions.

Asking questions in open forum can occasionally help resolve unspoken unconsidered entrenched irrational reactions
to a particular'problem'.

In a wider social context far greater than this forum, and to make more sense of this thread's chosen title,
simply google "celebrity death watch" and consider the tone & nature of the websites that will be listed.

Now think about how comfortably a spate of mudcat pre Obit premature celebrity RIP threads
could sit in relation to the nastier 'humorous' 'place your bet's who's dead next' web forums.


GUEST,Guest:: Michael William Harrison it's your prerogative to take personal offence where none was ever intended
and storm off in a hissy fit.

I had no idea who you are or that it was even you who started the Robin Gibb thread,
so I can definitely assure you no personal insult was ever meant.

I, we, can only be so reasonably aware & considerate of the potential feelings of others when writing at this forum,
but surely can't be expected take responsibility for the acute over-sensitivities & personal paranoias
of every individual who infrequently joins in and contributes here.


Now, having googled the name you use here, then if that is really you, you are certainly a man of substantial character
and rightly held in high esteem and respect on your side of the Atlantic.

Please reconsider your upset with our community....
