You continue to puzzle me....

From the wording of your posts, you demonstrate a good command of the English language and an intellect that is, at least, above average.

From the semantic content, however, you also demonstrate a lack of empathy for the pain of others and a lack of understanding of "when to keep quiet".

I have tried to "play the ball and not the man" on the issues, but your apparent unwillingness to concede that other people have a right to express their "feelings" without someone criticising their semantics, is what puzzles me...

In addition, when the "error of your grasp of the situation" was pointed out to you, there was no acknowledgement of this. (Here I am referring to "condolences" being targetted at the sufferer and not the "departed" - where the "sufferer" was human and the "departed" was not.)

A very wise mentor - many years back - made this observation to me after I had made an idiot of myself (which I do with monotonous regularity...):

"Never try to defend the indefensible!"

It has turned out to be an excellent maxim... You may want to try it!

Your "surprise"/"concern" that emotional responses called into question your level of sobriety is another aspect... Humans react to situations at two different levels, depending on their "emotional state" at the time:

1. On a "rational" level when emotions are under control
2. On an "emotional" level when emotions are not under control

Your post that triggered this furore affected different people in different ways - most were mightily pissed-off and they reacted - understandably - from a pure emotional perspective.

I am forced to conclude that you do not consider the suffering of others to be a valid "guideline" as to how to respond (if at all), and this, if not addressed, will result in your missing out a lot of what life has to offer.
