According to the atheist (logic, critical thinking, lack of belief, or whatever it's called these days), doesn't the individual cease to exist once physical death occurs? If so, what harm has been done to Cash by a poor display of tact? The tact isn’t for Cash. The tact is for the bereaved. Ah, that's what I thought, but if we're talking about Cinemachinery the magnitude of his bereavement is something known only to him, despite whatever he says on the forum.

So then I repeat...the tactful thing to do is say something nice or not say anything at all.

She was still reacting to the wake as if it was just a bit..

I didn't know that he died for real, or how people actually found out that he died.

I didn't know that he died for real, or how people actually found out that he died. "How this was found out" is what I always wonder. I think, "Wait, some folks here are actually hanging out/communicating offline?" Not that I'm against doing that, but no one ever seems interested in it. Of course, I mostly want to talk offline to the people who most want to argue with or most dislike me. Like Cinemachinery. Partially just because I'm curious re some insight into what they're "really like" offline.

I didn't know that he died for real, or how people actually found out that he died. When I made the thread, 4 months ago, it was just because he had stopped posting.. The unknown created a gap where humor could be found... also.. I was guessing that those who knew him from the other board would let us know his real condition. He just passed away a few days ago. I figure, we should give it at least a day or two before we start the jokes back up again.

Partially just because I'm curious re some insight into what they're "really like" offline. I've always said that we would all get long better in the real world... even those that are bitter "enemies"... Cine, Cash and a few others started another board a few years back... It was soooooooo gay. I guess Cash's nieces had instructions to notify the other board of his passing, I don't know how that works. Gay Ithacan (GI) was a poster on this board for a long time... He was upfront about his declining health.. When he stopped posting, I just kind of assumed it was because he was dying or had died. Now.. There was a poster here who's sister took over her account and started posting on her behalf after her demise.

They wouldn't know my Facebook, twitter, etc. passwords, or anything like that.

I don't know if I want my family knowing how much I post here.. Maybe Cash had enough foresight and strength to do a final posting on that board.. Or.. More likely.. They were friends on Facebook.. and could see his family members/friends talking about his passing.

They wouldn't know my Facebook, twitter, etc. passwords, or anything like that. I leave my user IDs open on my own computer. So, my family & friends would easily gain access, should something happen to me.
