Just curious, but why the disrespect? I'm somebody entirely nonplussed by his passing but can't fathom the posts above.

Think we must have missed something mate - I don't know WTFs going on either!

I'll keep working my way down the forum and maybe all will become clear

I'm just giving people an opportunity to mourn in public....if people don't want to mourn, then thats fine too. Personally I'll do any mourning in private.

I also do a lot of good work for charity.

If its a dig at public out pourings of grief generally then I understand, but the thread reads as being disrespectful toward somebody whom I understood to be a talented recorder of history. Perhaps I've just misunderstood the thread

I really feel for his family and friends.. I stopped everything I was doing (including breathing) for 3 minutes before as a mark of respect.

It is by no means a dig at a very talented man but at the whole "mourning sickness" thing..

I find it difficult to understand why one cannot express regret at his passing without some people having to make unpleasant digs about it.

Is it inverted snobbery , or just a pathetic attempt at some strange type of humour?
