First off I'll start by saying that this topic has gone way overboard! It started as a simple post to state what happened to someone who took a line of coke and died and has almost turned into a lynching post because someone had the balls to stand up and say he did not feel sorry for the guy that died!


Somebody is mourning the loss of a friend. You don't tell someone who's mourning you don't give a toss about the one who's died even if it's the truth. Far better to say nothing than to add to someone's loss.

Perhaps on this occasion it would have been best to have kept his opinion to himself. If he felt that strongly, maybe he should have started a different thread on his opinion.

It's not Ringers opinions that are wrong here, but where he's chosen to air them.


Freedom of speech, its a great thing my friend. Wether or not you or anyone else agrees with ringers decision to air his controversial views is beside the point. He is entitled to express them as much as anyone else here, unless he deliberatly causes offence.


In that case, Raven's comments about a lynching mob are hardley fair. Ringer himself mentions in his first post that he thought he'd get flamed. I am after all only using the power to freedom of speech myself and my opinions of his lack of feeling to the original poster are then as valid as his thoughtless and unfeeling post.

Raven mentions having the choice to ignore, and you have stated that it is infact in the rules. Perhaps if Ringer had had any compassion towards the poster, he too could have chosen to ignore the original post.

Lets hope for Ringers sake he doesn't lose someone close over the next few weeks and come in here looking for support and sympathy.

I guess for the sake of the original poster tho', I should drop this. I've made my point quite clear enough.

I wouldn't want your sympathy or support thank you

If I lost a friend through drug abuse I would certainly not come here or on any other board and ask for sympathy/support.

Sorry for your loss.

Let's just hope some good comes from it, perhaps it'll steer his kids clear from ever wanting to experiment.

I know it seems to have simmered down, but I don't want any abuse from anyone in here. I happen to think Ringer's got a completely valid point, even if it's more radical than just offering sympathy. This is a discussion board, and will get varying points of view - especially when it comes to drugs. Do not come here and not expect people to have views that match yours.

well i can see that me posting that i am deeply sorry for the loss his family have suffered would be a waste of time. even though it is true. i have all the sympathy in the world for them.... as you all know i recently lost someone to heroin. it's not an easy loss to bear. but all this is moot. and the reason it is moot is because the topic has gone way way WAY off from where it first started. there have been many varied points mentioned here. and it is not our place to condemn someone for the way they see things or for the way in which they voice their views. i for one think there have been quite enough witch hunts here lately. this is a discussion board. the whole thing is based on differing opinions. if we all agreed we may as well for-go the posting of any topics, safe in the knowledge that everyone would agree with us and tell us how right we are. it is the differing opinion...that one complaint in the millions that stands out. the one voice who says "no i'm sorry i don't agree with you" that makes this place what it is. and you should all appreciate that. there is no better passtime than debating, expressing our views, voicing our points and trying to convince the other that we are in fact right, immaterial of whether we are or not.

ok rant over.

just wanted to put MY opinion across.

What complete and utter arse, both these comments.

My OPINION is that for somebody not to care that the chap died shows complete disregards for the people that have been left behind. Without going metaphysical, the guy is dead - what you think of him is irrelevant to him; however what you say about him will matter to those that are left behind.

I'm sorry Bernard that you feel that taking a line of coke is so morally reprehensible that you have to take your stand.

Heystraw, I just think your comment is very harsh; maybe it just comes across that way?

You're not a bad old bean from the looks of things Ringer, and I guess I did get carried away. My apologies for that. I guess we both felt strongly about the same thing, it was just unfortunate that they were totally opposing view points.

Apology accepted bud.

Things like this do occur now and again whatever the debate/subject, and it does get heated at times.

But if we can all remain friends (well at least on-lin friends) at the end of the day then that's fine Smile

I don't think theres anything wrong with a heated debate now and again, it shows people are passionate about a particular subject and thats a good thing. We just need to remember not to get carried away and attack someone that does not agree you. Easier said than done though I admit.

We just need to agree to disagree on some things as we'll usually agree on something else.

So lets all shake hands or ther'll be detention Twisted Evil


is that a promise sir? Wink Twisted Evil
