RR invited Seacrest and me into his world. I still don't know why. To the point, he grouped texted us about his illness and his fear of the outcome a couple of years ago. Did RR have a little more edge to him over the last 7 years or so? Did he cross lines that were uncharacteristic of him? Sure. Knowing what the man was going through personally and when it came to his health likely gave me a different perspective than most.

He didn't want pity publicly or privately. On some level, he probably appreciates the vitriol and pissing on his grave that he received from some, even if it was tasteless.

I've been posting here for 20 years. Countless people have shared health related issues or personal struggles, including me. A few have died. This community has ALWAYS set aside any board beefs to pray, offer words of encouragement, or some other form of support. It saddens and angers me that this is the first exception to that rule.

Wouldn't the simple solution be deleting fhe posts in question?

I think Reader's friends can take it. They're just calling Brogue and WFR tasteless, petty, cowardly buffoons.

Besides, the Wisemen are good about letting people say what they want, as long as they are not trying to kill the board.

You seem to be confused as the what the word respectful means.

You had a chance to say something directly to him... and passed. Numerous times.

You've made your feelings clear.

Not confused at all. At those same occasions youre referencing , Reader certainly took the opportunity to let his feelings be known towards me correct ? He passed. Numerous times.

Can't we take this somewhere else? Lock this thread. Those that had something to say about the man when his time came have done so.

He didn't feel the same way about you, that you felt about him.

You ended up there because he asked me to invite you.

This is a good way of looking at it, especially on this board. Everyone is aware of the major grudges, so there is no need to post a negative comment just to highlight the conflict. Be a mature adult and say nothing rather than satiating your need for attention.

I'm going to try to outlast this board so I don't have to know what people think of me.

They'll mostly just mess up the quote function and make posts about how the Cubs suck no matter how much or little the Cubs actually suck at the current time.

I'd take it as a victory if even after I died I was still driving people that didn't like me mad. Well done Regular Reader.

I'd rather you just quietly and discreetly pissed on my grave
