RIPs

[Spikes]

It's from another forum that I frequent!!!

What the hell kind of place is this forum you frequent???

.....the other guy's death was mentioned in another forum that I frequent!!!

A forum were some bloke who's name you cant recall/be bothered to type out again is 'mentioned' in passing as having died?

I think their point is... well, this thread was never supposed to be a trainspotter's obsessive death inventory, Batson. It's somewhere to mark the passing of someone you knew, or a creator whose work you always admired, a muscian you've been a fan of for years, someone who maybe had links with Tooth...

^ This.

A 10 yr old lad I've looked after for many years passed away from his degenerative condition last week..cant post his name for confidential reasons but he was a lovely lad and will be missed by us all.

That's impossibly rough, Mogz.  My sympathies to you and the lad's family.

You seem to just link to any old death-related article for the sake of doing so. I mean... do you support Barcelona FC? Has their former manager's loss affected you particularly? Or at all? Had you even heard of him before now?

What he said.

You might also want to rethink the multiple exclamation marks!!! thing when announcing that someone has died.  Together with the brevity of your posts, It gives every unfortunate impression of you, tumescent with excitement, rushing back here to break the big news before anyone else.

So sorry, was never ever meant to sound disrespectful. The forum is the GameFAQs 313 (UK) board, which has a RIP topic every other week. As for the exclamation marks, they're a force of habit.

It's okay. You just need to calm down a little (well, okay - a lot) when it comes to posting about peoples' deaths.

As someone said, it's not a trainspotting competition, where every celebrity or semi-celebrity death has to be breathlessly reported as soon as possible. If you haven't heard of the person, then give it a miss. If the person doesn't really mean much to you, then leave the reporting to someone else who does care or has more to say other than "------------- has died!!!"

And no multiple exclamation marks. Seriously. It really doesn't look good with stuff like this.

[Batman's Superior Cousin]

Aye, force of habit, sorry.

Thoughts with you Mogz

Bob Hoskins. Blimey.

[Batman's Superior Cousin]

No, not him

[Frank]

Considering what he had coming to him through serious illness, that's a relief. He always took bad news well.

I'm shocked at the passing of Bob Hoskins. He was a fine actor and will be missed. RIP Bob.

A master piece of acting, you can feel every emotion he goes through. RIP
