[Misc] RIP Threads

Should Bernie Madoff get one?

RIP off?

Not interested? Scroll past. Not everyone needs to comment on everything. If you don't have anything nice to say, just keep schtum? Good advice for real life too, that.

This. All. Day. Long.

If the thread is about someone I have known about, and means something to me, I'll join in with a RIP from me too.

If it's somebody I've never heard of or somebody that meant nothing to me, like for instance a reality TV 'star' I'll just leave the thread alone. I might google the name out of curiosity, but won't add comments.

Can't see any problem with that, or with RIP threads in general.

This is because you’re seeing things through the eyes of a normal, rationale, cognitively balanced person!

I was going to try and time this post for a point when there did not appear to be a 'RIP Brian who played Triangle on Backstreet Boys cover of Dark side of the Moon' style thread on the board, as it might look as though I'm being disrespectful to the deceased or the OP, I'm not. However, as backs up the point of the thread, there appears to always be RIP threads on NSC. Whilst I mean to ill will to the deceased, should we not cut the numbers down a little? Could we not keep it to key names from the footballing world? or just major figures ? (yes, i know this is subjective but there has to be a line somewhere)

Cue the flaming...

No.

RIP threads are used as a kind of memoir and brings memories and good discussion. The front page has loads of space so, as they say, if it doesn't interest you or I we don't have to pop in.

And that is why NSC is going down hill

Conversely, I'm not than keen when someone not popular dies and people wish upon them all that hell can offer in the afterlife.
There's only 1 person who can decide such a thing.

This all the way! If it matters to you, dive in. If not, pass by on the other side.

[Randy McNob]

why not 1 dedicated obituary thread for all RIPS?

 

[Weststander]

Keep it the way it is.

If you don’t like a thread theme or the person who passed away, there’s a host of other thread subjects to chat about.

'RIP Brian who played Triangle on Backstreet Boys cover of Dark side of the Moon' s

Such a shame he was taken at such a young age, and before he had the opportunity to play Tibetan Bells on the proposed cover of L RIP

 

[GT49er]

In the regrettable unavailability of the stocks, thumbscrews or the iron maiden, yes!

 

[papajaff]

Perhaps his son? He discovered the scheme, shipped his Dad to the feds, then committed suicide a short while later? No evidence he knew anything of the workings of the scheme and showed genuine remorse

RIP

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Perhaps it's time NSC had a dedicated RIP sub forum ... The Cemetery?

 

[OzMike]

I did wonder whether people googled who had died today, as some have been a bit obscure.
Surprised no one has started a thread about which historical figure died on this day.
On that theme RIP Abraham Lincoln.
