How about explaining

you really don't see..? the keyword is popular.. a [i]popular[/i] celeb.. hence the shared emotion..

How about explaining why you dont use the death of an alzheimic nonogenarian as a springboard to "to share a little manageable grief together..?"

If there was one who'd touched our lives in some way, and that we all knew, I can imagine that that might fill the bill.

AW's music was not that important to me - I downloaded Back To Black and listened to it a few times, like a few tracks - but when David Bowie kicks off (don't laugh) I can imagine feeling a bit melancholy, as I listened to his music pretty much non-stop as a teenager, and it will remind me of the passing of time ... 🙁

but we "knew" AW? I doubt it.

As will I. But would you feel the need to weep into your keyboard as you type out your post so we can all know how [i]you[/i] feel about a stranger's death.

Acch. going round and round now. Im off out. Didnt mean to insult anyone individually - hope I haven't. But I still think a little more sincerity instead of popular vacuousness that's adds nothing but personal validation wouldn't go amiss sometimes.

"knew about", let's say, or "knew of"

I certainly hope not!!

There you go again - pretending that punters on here have shown excessive grief with regards to Amy Winehouse's death. And yet you have been unable to provide a single example to back up this claim, let alone many. I haven't seen any posts which left me thinking that the poster had been 'weeping into their keyboard'.

I guess you must feel that if you keep repeating something which is patently untrue, then eventually it must become "true".

ernie - Kit's OP read a bit like that to me. It was also inviting the discussion that has ensued IMO.

To write ill of the dead is disgraceful, if you ask me, but to debate the motives behind starting RIP threads... a completely different thing.

I would have posted earlier but my keyboard short circuited.
