C'mon, it's a bit weirdy isn't it? Proper z-list celebrity crushes. Tribute threads for birthday anniversaries. Suppressed sobs that she'd be 28 + 1 day now. Actually, that last one has to be a spoof surely?

But anyway. I'm sure there's many dozens of Jade webpages somewhere filled with cheesy jpgs of burning candles, and dreadful young-teenager tribute poems, and emotional women (plus a few gay blokes) consoling themselves in tragedy porn. This is a many-aspected forum and I'm afraid a bit of teasing is quite likely.

Towers of Babel aside ...

I'm a nightmare with madeleine threads too. I can't sit on my hands there either. I think I have a character deficiency.

There may well be loads of web pages on Jade, but I thought we were a part of a community in here therefore respecting each others views, likes and dislikes when they are personal. I couldn’t see any harm in those not keen on Jade staying clear of this thread, just as a respect to other fellow posters.

The thread title simply makes a statement that it would have been Jades 28th Birthday. It says nothing about it being a Birthday Memoriam.

I don't know, can’t speak for everyone else. But from a personal experience if I am at a low point many things can affect me. When Jade was ill and then passed away I had two good friends who were ill one suffering from cancer and the other from frozen shoulder. They both passed away within two weeks of each other.

There you go, that's what I was trying to get at (I think ). A kind of "projection" maybe? Or a "channelling" of whatever else might be going on in someone's life through Jade's story. I know I'm not expressing myself very well here.......

Sorry to hear about your friends, Diamond. That must have been a very tough time for you.

Like I said I agree with you entirely but I felt strangely guilty indulging myself in reading your posts; saying what I was thinking but... You did sort of shit in their garden, which is a tad naughty.

I know.

I have a frisson of guilt too. Perhaps that's the problem, I quite like that frisson and it often only comes when one breaks a social taboo or is overly crass when everyone else is being polite.

When I was younger, I planted daffofdil bulbs at night on a prominent, grassed-over roundabout to form the letters K C U F, only in a different order. I was tingling for weeks after that.

I can accept that people were genuinely saddened and very upset throughout her illness & eventual death. But I truly cannot understand why anyone, other than her immediate family and friends, would still feel the need to go on about it.

It's way too early in the morning for psychobabble....but I am wondering what REALLY lies behind all these Jade outpourings

Actually, I'm often intriged by that myself. Not this thread in particular, or the particular people involved, but generally as this is quite a common thing on forums.
