I think I can safely say that most people don't have a problem with the fact that Michael Jackson fans are upset by his death. On the night that he died, there were several threads here, none of which had any particularly negative comments. The 'negative attention' only started when Roxi started her numerous threads demanding that everyone must respect MJ, denying that he's had plastic surgery, that he's the father of the children etc. I doubt that anyone here begrudges people the right to feel sad or pay tribute to an artist who they liked, but there are ways of doing it.
Roxi has had years of experience of forum flaming and has now got it down to a fine art. She knows exactly how to wind people up - she's done it with Jordan, Leona Lewis, the Spice Girls, and John Cena that I've seen - and has had multiple bans from several forums for her flaming (at least 20 from C4). I think Helen and MoFo have summed up her posting style exactly. Had Roxi not decided to start posting in her usual way, I'm sure very little of the negativity would have ever happened.
