I find it scary how many of you are able to act like this. You're mourning over people you never even met. Your always deeply heartfelt sympathies untouched by any deference.
I have a lot of respect for the ones who really have a reason to mourn. And I do hope for their sake, they have real people to talk to, who can relate to their loss in some way, that isn't a stomach-churning emo post on an internet forum.

My heart goes out to... :(
You are in my prayers tonight! :(
And best of banality:
Why do the good always die so young? :(

You can start your flak now, but for me you are a scourge on the net.
If you really mourn for every unknown dead, what are you even doing here? Shouldn't you be in Baghdad or Africa? Or do your authenticity a favor and jump in a lake.
I'll write a thread about you.

my heart goes out to people like you, Koyla, who have a heart of stone:mad:

I don't get how typing something is different from saying it. Either way, you are expressing feelings, now here's me expressing mine.

All I know is I've been around here for awhile and actually have a few relationships that have a bit of depth to them, so when something bad happens to that individual, it causes an emotional response in me.

Also, if you think that sympathetic responses to such posts are 'emo' I'm pretty sure you either don't know what 'emo' means, or you don't know anyone on this forum very well.

Either way, you're an ass-monkey for even bringing it up. Who gives a fuck what you think?

EDIT: I assume this is in reference to Dia's thread commemorating akaBart who was a member of this forum, where she responds with:



...in which case, you can fuck right the hell off.

This is an online community where members of the forum get together and discuss things. Our lives, our fears, our feelings, our family, our pets. We learn about each other here. Do we all have real friends and family we probably discuss the same things with? Probably. Do some people only show their fears and concerns here because we're all a bit detached from each other? Probably. You know Sypha threads are famous for getting our attention, because he doesn't want it in real life. When my cat went missing, and I felt sad, did I share it here? Yes. I shared it with my friends in real life too.

I've made many friends here on TTLG.com. Have I met them all? No. Does it change the fact when they bring up things in their lives like a family member dying, that I relay my condolences and wish them well.

You should really take a hard look at yourself Kolya. I thought you were much smarter than this, and had more tact. I've actually respected much of your posting up til now.

You do realize some of us have known each other for over seven years? Internet friendship it may be but these are people we speak to daily -- real people behind those computer screens. They're not fake just because they're far away. Perhaps we don't mourn the lost ourselves, but we respect and care for a fellow human beings enough to say a kind word in their time of need. You completely miss the point of those sort of comments because you're not human, perhaps.



Edited: sans hostility.
Double edit: I saw what you did there, GBM.
