Tbf Jongi I can see where you are coming from, if people don't like the guy etc, I guess they do have a right to say so. It's not really them that I am getting at tonight, it's the people who don't care, but make the jokes and get involved when they really don't need to that have caused the debate here.
But say Ronnie O'Sullivan who I absolutely despise is shot dead tomorrow and a thread full of ''s' is made, there is not a chance in hell that I would post or get involved in it, it just wouldn't be appropriate to me. A death thread, barring obvious exceptions for murderers etc, is just a place for fans/others to express sympathy or feelings of shock etc to me, not a place to have a go and upset those who do care.

You see with that I'm the complete opposite, I've ignored the story from day one because I simply couldn't care less, but I can understand why people like you would, and stay out of the thread accordingly.

see my response to dafuge that my 4th post on this page answers that point. As my first post on this topic stated, I had and still have not seen Zaitsev's comments in the McRae thread. My comments were of more a general nature and i thought my disclaimers would make that clear. Clearly that was not the case.
My point was really that those who voice genuine dissent against general RIP feelings should not be excluded from a thread.
