Look, I can't follow all your name changes most of the time anyway.. especially when they happen half way through a thread.
Personally, if its only hours since a someone died in tragic circumstances, I wouldn't post *anything* but positive stuff. The negative can come later. Even if I don't care hugely whether the person was dead, I have a level of empathy that makes me realise that there are probably *others* who are more affected by his death than me. No, Syd Barret dying didn't upset me.. it made me wistful and a time earlier in my life that reminds me of him, but didn't upset me. But, I didn't post any of the negative I could have done, as there may have been others out there upset by his death.
When it comes to death, grief and respect, if I don't have anything positive to post, I simply don't post.
I guess thats the word I was looking.. empathy for others feelings.
