Ahhhh, there is the compassion everyone is talking about

You took my post out of context.  My original post was innocuous and I was subsequently attacked.

I responded to his attack in a very careful and deliberately proportional manner.  My post directly paralleled his.

Don't even bother, a55hole.  The truth only makes you look worse.

The reason I didn't bash you in the condolences thread is because that thread is for condolences, not for attacking other people.

Whether or not MajIssue should have posted it is your own opinion, but the fact remains that he did (IMO he did what was right), and it cannot be deleted, so you might as well join the rest of us in paying respect to his mother.

I would strongly recommend editing your post into something rather more considerate, and apologising for your behaviour.

Yes we are a "community," but in this virtual world we inhabit things like these are better off kept in the more tight knit groups, such as squads and close personal friends in game.  While I am very sorry for Maj's loss, coming into the general discussion with it is like walking up to someone you barely know and laying it on them.  It's just not quite the right way to handle it in my opinion.

These threads have gotten quite out of hand lately with things being very hard to verify as truth over the internet.  In the past people have lost and kept it more quiet, yet people who know and care for the individual always end up finding out and help in the grieving process in a more intimate and probably meaningful manner.  Seeing these things almost weekly now desensitizes the community to it in a way.  Again just my opinion though.

Very sorry for you loss.

Posting obituaries on the internet message board about game, which purpose is killing and destruction makes sense to you, especially when deceased had no connection with the game whatsoever?

As far as the 68KO is concerned, I would become very vocal if there would be any danger of turning this game into virtual tombstone.

There's right time and the right place for certain things...

Understand what you're saying, but I disagree. AH is more than a game for a lot of us, who have built friendships with people we wouldn't have known any other way. And whether you like it or not, even the toned down O'Club has enough pirhana like activity that many of us just don't go there at all. And we're not talking about a huge discussion -- these threads act like community post-it notes, where somebody lets us know what's going on and (mostly) we gather around to give some virtual support.

So because this is a community as well as a game, it seems to me that simple posts like Maj's are perfectly appropriate.

Dang...Yossarian laid down some LAW!!!!!

Free speech or not, what was said by YK is totally wrong no matter how you look at it. Sorry that your mom didnt hug you enough when you were young or maybe you are pissed that you cant be breast fed anymore. Either way no one cares to read your pathetic little whimpers about how you dont care about your mom. Your tastless and warped mind shows just how little you are capable of understanding. A good man wants to pay a little tribute to his mother, so be it. MAJissue is a squaddie of mine and I consider him a good friend. If he wants to write a few words about his mother passing then let him.

In closing, I really cant wait until I see you (YK) in the arena so I can give you the mid-air thrashing you deserve. Better yet I would love to see you walking down the street so I could teach you a little respect first hand. Something your mother obviously couldnt do.

OUT,

Sooner

Simaril, read the Stang's post. He explains better (and more politely) than I could ever do...

While I understand some have to share their pain, many come here to relax and  to get away from RL. They want to talk about game and not about something depressing like death of family member...

If it's not about Aces High, post it in O'Club, that what it is for.

2bighorn, whilst I understand your point and why you're making it, I'd like to say that IMO it's important to remember anyone you know who's died, and that if someone feels that posting in these forums is an effective way of doing so, then it is their right.

Now, perhaps it should have gone in the O-Club, I don't know, but if you feel that is the case, I think that argument should be held in the O-Club.

^ what he said.

If you pin your heart to a gaming bbs don't be surpised if someone stomps on it. Harden up, this is the net, not the mylittlepony.com forums.

Sure, this is common sense Vulcan, and I agree that you should be prepared to deal with the consequences of posting on a public forum.  I am sure that MajIssue knew these risks when he posted the tribute.

However, this does not change the fact that Yknurd just took the words 'stunninghunk' and 'senseless' etc. to an entirely new level of meaning.  I support free speech, but I believe it should always be used carefully and with moderation.

[Yeager]

cut the guy just a small measure of slack.  I think that perhaps yknurds mom was maybe abusive towards him and treated him terribly, obviously.  There are women that do that to their kids and its a tragedy.  Sometimes the feelings that are left over are truly regrettable, not yknurds fault but yeah, posting what he said did seem out of character for him.  Im letting it go.

Again, do the best you can and love as much and forgive as much as you can possibly manage.  Life is too short to waste on hatred and anger.

This is HTC's forum for the discussion of their game. We have no rights whatsoever regarding what we post or discuss. There is no free speech, no entitlement to do as we wish. The folks at HTC have been nice enough to provide us with a venue to discuss things outside the realm of AH, and that, IMO and according to the rules, is where things like this should remain.

Everything I learned about getting along with people I learned from the Disney movie "Bambi" ...love the part when "thumper" says "if you don't have anything good to say...... then say nothing at all"
999000 my condolences...maybe all of us who still have living Mom's and Dad's will take the time to appreciate them a bit more.
