That is so funny.
:roflmao:

I laughed, i did

takes some balls to say it, and it's sadening to hear it.
And its online, the threadmaker probably didnt take it that hard, the comment was funnier than it was sad. Or atleast thats the point im trying to come to.

Funny how we can react to different stuff we read on the web in different ways. I thought the reply was repulsive and hope to god the OP never came back to read it.

Ragnarh · December 27, 2006, 01:36:53 AM

was the first post real?

I laughed when I red it .

I thought the reply was really bad.
If I'd loose a brother and typed something like this on dMw and someone would reply like that....Reallybad joke....

Hmm, interesting edit you did there.

I'm not one for this modern revival of great outpourings of "grief", the street roadside shrines, taking your kids for a day out to leave teddy-bears, etc. It smacks more to me of a need to "prove" you "care" - even if you didn't have anything other than the slightest connection with the deceased. Now that is cheap, repulsive, vulgar hypocrisy of the worst kind.

Maybe I've spent too long around people whose activities put them at the riskier end of the life-expectancy scale, but grim humour of this type has never been a problem for me. I certainly welcome it over sour-faced "political correctness" and the "ban everything" nanny state with whose exultation of the culture of mediocrity I find myself becoming increasingly disenchanted.

So lighten up, OK?

:narnar:

Personally, I'd blame Stryker for the TK.

I wonder what the balance between the amount of grief the comment would create compared with the amount of fun it would give, is. I originally posted another comment about it maybe being down to whether someone who had lost someone close to them recently would have a good laugh at the second post, but then thought it not relevant and deleted it.

I wonder what people would thing if a dMw member posted that their teenage son had tragically been killed in a car crash and I posted a reply along the lines of "well at least that will be one less kid hogging the PC and more CS time for you". Would we have a big old laugh at my funny joke or would the whole dMw community turn against me in horror?

I agree, you don't fall down in floods of tears at 'road side shrines' when you have no clue who the dead person is. We just drive past and think nothing of it. But we don't pullover and scribble cruel jokes on the bereavement cards either, in the hope that the dead persons family might come back and read them. There is a very big difference between indifference and cruelty.

TeaLeaf · December 27, 2006, 10:00:37 AM

Knowing someone makes the difference. If we all felt the pain of the loss of someone close when an unknown person died then we'd spend the rest of our lives in a padded cell or slit our own throats. It's the protection mechanism we use. Whilst I would have chosen to not post the reply made, reading it made me chuckle - it appealed to my own personal defence mechanism: black humour. If the relative read it then it would be a very different reaction - and we will all react differently to these situations.

Lets turn it around a bit, would the poster still think its funny if he was the one who posted that post after loosing his brother or something?

Don't think so ><

DMW is to "tight" we're al friends, some are much better friends than others.

A much larger part of the wow community found that funnier than tragic. Think that was the posters point. OR, he could just be an ass.
