R.I.P. Senator Kennedy

This thread already contains too damn many cryptic numbers. If you have something to say, say it plainly. Don't just post random numbers.

Or, as tzaddi said, keep it respectful and don't post those thoughts at all. Or start your own thread.

Whenever I see a thread that mentions someone's passing with RIP in the title it is my understanding that it is a thread where one can share a thought or experience while acknowledging the passing in a respectful manner, while practicing the matriarchal axiom of “If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Now on the other hand if the thread title reads B.I.H. then I would expect nothing less than a purging of vitriolic emotion directed at the person mentioned in the thread title.

I can't help but agree with the above posters. I know not everyone agrees with a man's political views, but it should not lead to negative thoughts at his passing.

That being said, the man dedicated almost 50 yrs to serving this country. That is more than just about all of his detractors can say. Like him or not, he fought for a cause and tried to make a difference.

And this is why we don't do 'em, 'round here.
