Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Let me rephrase for you. Posting a multiple paragraph explanation about how little you care about something, doesn't send the message you're trying to convey.Originally Posted by eddiememphis

People "care" about some people more than others. I have zero feelings about a guy who threw ball well for a living, but I listened to nothing but Rush for days when Neil passed. I liked Neil as a guy and as a musician. Kobe? Couldn't even tell you anything about Kobe's career, except "good basketball player". I know nothing about the guy...and don't wish too.
Sure I feel for the guy's family and all, but jeez. Lots of people die every day. RIP to all of them.
And bashing dead people is just bad form. No matter what.
And as to the 4 yo tragedy, what can people post about it besides, "seems fishy...so sad", which has been done?
My point is that people do this weird thing when celebrities die. The people that like them obviously are sad or upset or bummed out, whatever. Anyone ranging from don't care to didn't like the person, climb over each other to get their two cents in about how little they care or are glad. It's this weird compensation that people do. Same thing with a thread about the Broncos or Chevys. Half the thread is people talking about the subject, and the other half is people chiming in about how they haven't liked the Broncos in a decade or wouldn't own a Chevy if it were given to them.
I wasn't trying to pick on Eddie, as this is something lots of people do, and I've been guilty of myself. Just trying to point out that if you really don't care, then don't say anything. Sure makes you look a lot better, at the very least.
Good advice. Some people seem to feel the need to comment on everything.

Sick burn dog.
Do not know if it was I that came across wrong, but I was trying to convey in my initial post that I was taken back and somewhat apologetically shocked at my initial callous indifference and then having thought about it immediately after my initial response genuinely understand the grief of his family and friends. Perhaps I was wrong given the conversational nature of the forum to treat it as a confessional analysis of my own reaction (which my initial post was). Or perhaps could have worded my own initial post better that you can sympathize with others tragedies but sometimes the death of a public figure will affect some more than others.
It is in the nature of communication and conversation via the internet with people you do not otherwise know that things get lost in translation; The opposite can also be true in which true intent and undertones become obvious regardless of wording. I took the opportunity to publicly acknowledge a self criticize my own initial thoughts in an effort to convey that thought process worded it poorly.
Either way I the unfiltered opinions of others is why I value the conversation here and other forums.
