I have never killed a thread -- unless you consider argument murder

roughly 25 Jan 2018:
When an obituary thread becomes more about
some sort of personal squabble,
than it is about the person who died,
I think it's time to close the thread
and let the dead rest in peace.

quote from Metro News website:
"One of the awful things about losing Jo
is knowing how much difference
she would have made in the world.
When the kids wake up this morning
I'm going to tell them how --
even though she's not here --
she's still making the world a better place."

quote from
article dated 30 Nov 2017:
"Our most important relationship is now being
mediated through this man who has
the mental approach of a toddler.
That's probably being harsh to toddlers.
I think my kids would deal with international affairs
in a much more effective way. "


One of those things, preceding,
is not like the others . . .
