Nice to see so many of you rallying to Mr McCrae's defense.
you're a right bastard, and I salute you, good posting form Jago!
I think the point is that you are hurting other peoples feelings, not showing disrespect for McCrae: in that light a fellow human being might say to the next: what ho, how unsensitive.
I fully endorse your right to **** off everyone though.
ta ta chaps.

First off, fixed that for you. (Sorry, I'm a closet English language facist  )
I am reliably informed that my parents were actually married 6 months before I arrived, so technically, I'm not a bastard.
My intention is never directly to hurt peoples' feelings. However, I am aware that some folk are unusually sensitive to freedom of expression... that's just too bad.
As I have stated before, I have a great deal of respect for Mr McCrae, but not for the gaming industry which is, I reiterate, the target of my original post.
However, even I have limits. Witness my complete lack of a presence in the many "EVE player has died" threads. As I know very little about the people involved, I found myself with nothing relevant to say on their untimely demise.
A lot of the folk who did post in these threads knew the people in question, as I did not, and for me to show up in these threads, shooting my mouth off, would have been insensitive.
Colin McCrae was a celebrity and, as such, his life and the tragic shortening of it is of interest to many folk, myself included. If it wasn't, then it wouldn't be news now, would it?
Just because I don't immmediately pile in with the "what a sad loss, we shall never see his like again" plaudits, doesn't mean I'm a bad man; it just means that I have something different to say.
Opinions are like members of goonswarm; everybody has one.
Just because mine differs from some others on what is acceptable in a forum thread doesn't make me wrong, or right. It just makes me, me.
ah. yes. did my post sound you had to explain yourself all over again? uhm...no. I understood where you were coming from, and was more than fine with it.
you rly do like to hear yourself speaking huh? anyway, no matter, I get you.
