No.In all seriousness this thread shows the absolute hypocrisy running through many aspects of this board.I use my formidable wit to lightheartedly link the news of celebrity deaths to aspects of their lives.This is not mocking the death itself.

However it now transpires that joking about death (in a way which is,unlike me, mocking the death) or even glorifying in the death is totally acceptable according to your perception of the deceased (e g Margaret Thatcher),or if you happen to know the deceased personally (🙄).
Firstly your wit is not formidable, and your jokes are crap at best. That said I don't think there is anything mocking about the jokes and you have to laugh at death sometimes. Your jokes are just terrible but I would defend your right to make them.

You say is ok to laugh at death "sometimes". Who decides which times?

You think it should be formalised in law?

There's plenty of stuff he posts here to take T. Fearon to account over, but this po-faced virtue signalling in response to his inane but harmless attempts at humour are tiresome.

For what it's worth, here's the rule of thumb most of society seems to use: it's not only OK, it's necessary for our psychological well-being to laugh at death. But we do it out of earshot of the bereaved in the particular case. And we don't do it at all in the case of events that are likely to be hurtful to many even by being mentioned - e.g. the death of a child.

This forum is out of earshot of the world at large and certainly of those bereaved by the deaths about which TF posted.

Hardy has spoken. Will everyone listen?

OK - as long as families affected won't hear we're getting a good laugh out of it. Sound

Go to the Corny thread, and count the number of jokes that make fun of a group of people and those that do not.

Exactly.My respect for the deceased is such that I removed my comment of condolence on the 5Sams thread when it was proposed this be presented to his family.This was due to the fact that I was not his favourite person and I didn't want to cause distress to any of his siblings lest they knew this.

In fairness I think that quote would be valid for about 90% of the members of this Board
Careful now

The use of the word "disgraced" will kick off a bit of controversy on here, I would say.

Looking forward to Fearon's joke on this one.

Surely that's something you should only be doing in the privacy of your own home....
