Oh I agree. But then that goes for all other emotions too. Much of the stuff discussed on forums could be considered as mawkish and sentimental, or downright trivial, but I guess it's what makes us human (including the right to disagree).
I'm naturally averse to sentimentalism but I think I was damaged beyond repair by the Madeleine story and the forum reactions throughout. I remain, to this day, absolutely astonished by that. It used to make me feel variously sick and amused. Then came the Jade threads. Poor MJ didn't stand a chance as I was highly sensitised by then.

Hmmm, I know what you mean. I think I'm better off out of here tonight.
I think I might be on the way to a drunken state, I should perhaps get out of here before I say something I should not.
Oh, bugger it, I will stick around a bit.

I am grateful for Michael Jackson being born...without him there would be no Bo Selecta MJ and that used to make me cry laughing

Go back to your private forum and point and laugh at me and others who feel strongly about respect given to those who deserve respect for what they have contributed. I'm not really bothered.
Respect given to those who deserve respect? Fine, if you think they do, also fine is some dont think they do. That is the crux of the matter is it not?
I think it goes beyond that though. Why ridicule those who think MJ deserve respect? Whatever you think about me or my posts, I have always TRIED (sometimes failed) to treat others with dignity and respect. There are numerous threads that I don't go into because I'm simply not interested. I don't go in to find the ONE post that tells me I MUST support so and so, or I MUST respect so and so.
The crux of the matter is, whether or not you like Michael Jackson or thought he was a total prat, there are many others who thought he was worthy of respect. Why belittle those people?

Still waiting for examples of the belittling, Suzi...

Good to see you girl. 
All is good, pop in once in a while, things just go so fast they usually lose me somewhere along the line.
However, I have lots of nice drinks around and am thinking of hanging around here for awhile. Just to comment on Sree as well.

Your opening post, Trev. You took a comment that one poster made about how everyone should respect MJ and ran with it. I felt that you were belittling anyone who was sad at his demise.
"Get over it" were your words, not mine.

Ohhhhhh, I am so not belittling anyone at all for their feelings, a lot of people really adored the man. I am a David Bowie fan myself and I would be really upset if he passed. But I really havent seen anyone disrepect anyones feelings here, they have just said they did not like him and should not feel compelled to give him respect. Perhaps I havent been around much but at least in this tread, I havent seen it so far.
Dont worry what people are saying, everyone is entitled to feel what they feel. I just did not like him in the later years and am not upset about this at all.

Get over the fact that I don't respect Micheal Jackson.
That didn't belittle anyone.
And it wasn't just ONE poster. It was all over the forum this morning and all day yesterday.
So what you 'felt' was wrong.
Suzi, I assumed that this thread had been started out of frustration at Choccy/Amy/CFL spamming the forum with 'You must respect Michael Jackson' posts. I don't think anyone is belittling people who are saddened by his death, but quite a few people are getting fairly fed up with Choccy forcing her opinions on everyone yet again. The only thing she hasn't said so far is LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!!!

Humm, I did not get that meaning at all. Just goes to show how we can all misinterpet things.
