what a senseless death

• k-mcgrady 15y ago
  There is no point to speculating. If they don't want to say just leave it at that.

    it's basic human nature to speculate that's why the news of Michael Jackson's death caused Twitter and even Google to crash

      it's basic human nature to speculate Maybe, but it remains a choice whether or not to say something. Conventional manners tend to lean toward "not" in this context.

      I think we like to hold ourselves to a higher level of discussion here than your average tabloid.

      If you simply must speculate, you should at least try to remain tactful and be careful not to speculate too wildly (there are more likely and less slanderous reasons for a cause of death to be omitted than drugs or alcohol). Please remember, this is a person who was loved by many other people. Don't inflict pain needlessly.

      Honestly, as someone who interacted with him via email, the cause didn't even cross my mind.

      "that's why the news of Michael Jackson's death caused Twitter and even Google to crash" Google did not crash, an automated system blocked the queries as they looked like spam.

    As long as someone close to the deceased has chosen not to share the matter, we should respect their decision. It's the case where no close family/friends have expressed such a decision that concern should be raised... and it's hard to determine without good reportage.
