Well Catmanblue – I’m now in something of a quandary after your post.
Not only did you not know the allegedly deceased ”Giggles” but it would seem that many many others didn’t know him (or her) either. In fact there is a strong suggestion floating around the Forums that the currently being grieved over ”Giggles” may well have been ….. wait for it …. a FAKE !!! Yes a real live (or indeed dead) fake ”Giggles”.
This means that a number of users have betwween them wasted several boxes of Kleenex tissues (thus unnecessarily contributing to the UK landfill and waste disposal problems).
They are now thoroughly confused. Should they continue to publicly grieve, even though they didn’t know the deceased loved one? Should they wear black and abstain from sex for a week? Should they denounce the entire thing as a dreadful hoax? Is the apparently fake ”Giggles’ really a florist – sniggering in their nasty little shop and rubbing their hands in glee at the thought of all the flowers they will soon be selling to gullible mourners.
So your suggestion causes a bit of a problem, as if there were to be a Dead and Departed Forum, people could post messages that user ****** had just died etc. The concentration of expressions of grief, messages of condolence, and general howling and wailing all in one place would be simply too much for ordinary mortals to bear.
We might even have to post a public health warning for those of a weak disposition, in case they went in by accident, read an assortment of miscellaneous death notices, and discovered to their horror that they were dead themselves. Now that would never do.
I mean … this is a really difficult subject and I am trying to deal with it in a sensitive manner – but as you know, I don’t do tact.
However, if we are all to make this work … then some suggestions as to how it could be done would be a good place to start.
No idea PB I thought (silly me for assuming logic on JC message boards) that the majority of folk would use the forum as it was intended ie celebrations of new life, marriages etc but then again I forgot about the netnerds and how the minority of chatters would ruin it for the majority.
Would also assume that a thread as this, that was started by a reg, UNDER THEIR OWN LOG IN NAME, and not as an impersonator, would hold some credance to the content. Will leave it up to you experts to sort it out :roll: I cant be bothered any more and Im sure you wont lose your beauty sleep over it!!@forumhostpb wrote:
What an excellent idea Fastcars. It could be a sort of permanent ‘In Memoriam’ board, riddled with people sobbing, howling, and wailing over the departure of loved ones that they didn’t know and have never actually met. Candles could be lit in their memory; prayers could be said; hymns could be sung; and streets bedecked with flowers.
But wait …… there’s a problem ……..
How will we ever REALLY know that the deceased person really is deceased (and not just diseased)??? Could this be a sort of authorised version of the well known ‘Internet Death Hoax” (see ‘Lil Angel’ and dozens more like it). We MUST have a way of actually proving that the person is really dead and won’t be miraculously resurrected after sufficient outpourings of grief have occurred.
We already have an accidental death posting on this thread alone. (Will the real Giggles please stand up – the other one can’t ‘cos she’s dead). Can you imagine what it would be like if there was an entire Forum dedicated to this sort of thing?
Maybe a solution is for those that actually knew the much loved deceased one to post photos of their corpse; or perhaps post a link to a news article that describes the manner of their demise.
This clearly needs a lot more thought before we can take it any further. Any ideas on how to take this forward???
