R.I.P. George Carlin

[lerxstcat]

I think some people need to chill and remember that this isn't church, nor a funeral - it's an internet forum where people post opinions.

that being said, I truly was not out to offend anyone (I did not insult the guy or call him names) and I will endeavour to reserve my comments in future such threads.

(except if they are started by shreddermon, our local self-appointed authority on class and maturity)

Even on Internet forums, there's a protocol for RIP threads and when you step in saying "Eh, he wasn't all that" it's disrespectful. If you don't have a radar for that, take the word of most people who will tell you that it IS disrespectful - to the deceased, and to everyone who's posting their respects on the thread.

The people commenting here are profoundly sad about George's passing, not just tossing off a casual opinion, so they're going to be a little touchier than the usual Jackson vs, Ibanez debates.
