RIP threads

[Immenseman]

I didn't say you were narrow minded, don't try and interpret my posts Having an opinion is one thing; I posted mine you posted yours. I can see both views, you can't thus my comment about me not having tunnelled vision. It was a fact, I don't.

If you'd actually read my point, I acknowledge what you're saying - I personally do agree with you. However, I don't have tunnelled vision. Some people don't have people to talk to - they ventilate their emotions on to the internet. Habbox Forum is part of that thus people post what is close to their heart.

It's obviously easier for people to post on here then to explain their feelings to somebody in real life. How can you criticise them for that? They aren't you - nor does it affect you. You have the capability to ignore the thread and I'd be more worried if the threads were annoying you.

It isn't something that I and clearly you two would post on this forum because it's nothing to do with the whole forum. Sure I might tell a few people on here if a relative died because I talk to them daily.

You have to allow people to post what they want; providing it doesn't violate the forum rules. If people desire to post about family deaths for whatever reason then you can't penalise them for doing so. Just ignore the threads.

"If you'd actually read my point" I said I think it's perfectly acceptable if they talk to someone over msn or PM, if they were really having trouble coping they could then post in Teen Life. I'm much more concerned if they get bullied and targetted for being weak due to them posting about it rather than the death itself. I don't want to see threads like "RIP" because I don't see a purpose of it other than to say "RIP" to someone you don't know, it's pointless but I don't mind. I can ignore the threads which is why I won't post in them.
You just summed up my point anyway "it isn't something I would post on this forum because it's nothing to do with the whole forum." That's my point, it's nothing to do with the forum, no-one really cares and you'll just get targetted, simple. I don't care if they're made, I'm just saying I know where Adam is coming from, if any problems occur with any members family dying then they are obviously entitled to have a little moan about it through Teen Life or by PMing someone they trust. They would probably still be targetted but it's what I'd do rather than to expect people I don't even know nor my family to give the person who died some "respect" by saying RIP over an internet forum.

And you're not respecting my opinion.

You should never start a sentance with and.

*sentence (just joking)

anyway, to be perfectly honest i think that everyone should have the right to post a thread about someone or something that has died as it is a way of expressing their feelings...

as i'm sure if a family member of yours died that you would be upset about it (unless you really hated them for some reason or another)

Haha someone noticed, you win the game

To be fair, everyone has feelings and sometimes wishes to express those here on the forum. To be fair, you don't even have to read the threads, so don't. To be fair.

I have to agree with the thread starter here.

I just don't understand why people post these threads of the forum. What are they expecting to get out of it? I mean, I don't know your grandad or whatever so I can't exactly console you and share in your grief.

I do find it bizzare though when people post threads like "My mum was hit by a car 5 minutes ago" or "my aunt just died in Hospital" because it confuses me as to why the feel it is more important to tell us on here. I think a lot of these threads are attention seeking and something so personal as grief sould be kept private and off the forum. Most of the time the forum members react negativly which results in arguments and the thread being closed.

If they were to post a poem on the forum regarding it then fair enough because it isn't an RIP thread, it's the threads that merely set out to say "x RIP " or "x has been dead x years RIP " that I think are pointless and shouldn't be regarded as anything other than pointless.

Just my opinion.

[Barkseh]

And you arn't as fit as me.

I agree though.. I quite honestly couldn't give a flying quacking duck if someone I didn't know died of natural/common causes.

And you're not respecting my opinion.

So you're basically saying the same as me then. I don't know why Adam posted in here though, what exactly does he want to happen. These threads aren't going to be "against the rules" because that is bordering on ludicrous.

It comes down to opinion; some people want to make a thread about it. Others don't. Why they make these threads, I don't know. Whether like Joey said it's for attention or whether it's because they want to know that other people are there to support them. We can't generalise because everyone is different.

The bottom line still is if people don't want to see a thread then they won't click it. I don't see the purpose in this thread because there isn't going to a rule put in place "don't post about family deaths" for obvious reasons.
