You know, I found this thread by googling a very good friend’s name on a lark. First, though, I found her brother’s obituary. Of course, I knew he was dead. I went to his funeral. I have been friends with both of them for many years. And the things you have said here? They are just wrong.
He pissed you off on your little website? He hurt your little feelers? He made you realize that you were pathetic or stupid? So what. Tough .
He wasn’t Hitler. He was just a guy. A guy with an ironic sense of humor, a brilliant mind and an incredibly big heart. And he was well loved. You?
Most of you suck. You were right, hopefully, that his family may never read this but his friends just might. Even with Saddam being sentenced to hang, I feel no joy. It is a human life. I realize that isn’t much to some people but to others…it is everything.
His life meant much to his mother, his father and his sister. Not to mention, his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins…and friends that he kept through his whole life. How many of you are still friends with the boy that sat beside you the first day of kindergarten?
Joe was a fantastic man, a great friend and probably more successful in his short life than most of you will be with three times as long to prove it.
I hope you sleep well at night. Then again, you probably do. Ignorance is bliss. Gee, I do hope “karma” is ignorant, for your sakes. Don’t mourn him. He doesn’t need you to. He has real people that care. |
It's ironic that you mock us people online ( even if I didn't reply to this thread when it was originally created ) for the behavior we had in regards to his death yet you took all the replies so seriously.
Perhaps he was a wonderful person in real life but the way he behaved on this forum was a dick attitude, and perhaps you should consider that he had a double personality hidden from his friends and family...
oh well...
so long.

So you come on here to bash everyone? Indeed, he may have been a good person. But in the 6th world that we call the internet he came across as a very cocky, ignorant and pissed off person who would hit on any member who ever so slightly presented themselves as a woman. This is a site about music. Yes, the chill out room is filled with many egotistical and snotty folk, he did nothing to try to set himself above the vast majority of the people here.
What are famous word to live by? Do unto others as they would do unto you.
What did he do? Piss many people off and present himself with a red aura around himself.
Am I sad he died? Sure. I never wish death on anyone. Am I sad at how I acted towards him? No. If he came across warm and receptive, he would have received that back. |
Since I have read back over some of the threads that he replied to...and many answers given to him or about him, I can hardly blame him. Of course, if you took the time to know him, you would know that he was just having fun.
Furthermore, I believe I said "most" which clearly implies that I am not "bashing everyone." There is no "maybe." He was a good person.
And, last but not least, how would your mother, gf or sister feel coming across a thread like the one that I just read? One in which not only are your death and the possible causes of it, not only a source of amusement but also one of debate? How would your dad, bf or brother feel to see people type that because you had typed something snotty to them, they didn't care that you had died? That your death was meaningless because, at least, they wouldn't have to deal with your annoying posts, anymore?
I realize that many of the people on here are aware how anonymous the web is. It feels safe to say or do something that you would never admit to if your grandparents could hear you. I get that. But think of his granparents. They will never hold him to them, again. And you are worried about a stupid thread?
And you know what? Sometimes people don't behave the way we would like them to. Does that make them any less a person? |

Only one side of his personality was shown here hence the hate you may have perceived in the replies.
Online personas are what you make of them, Dick Renegade had a bad one and he "suffered" the consequences after his death. |

@ PissedOffAngel: The only person worried about this "stupid thread" is you.
The internet is a cold, uncaring place, and none of us here owe you, or "Dick" anything. Sure, maybe it sucks that because of the internet his family will learn he was a complete douche, but , that's part of the legacy he left. Tough . |

yeah, i always love it when people will behave how they want, whenever they want, but as soon as something hits too close to home, they run around lecturing everyone with their illogical emotional bull. |

Would it have made you feel better if we made threads making fun of his death saying that he deserved what he got?
I am not worried about a stupid thread. How you come here now bashing the people and the boards here is similar to him. You already have a preconceived notion of anything related to tranceaddict. He came across the same way to us. When he first started it wasnt very good. For all I know you are a good person, funny and loving. But do your posts show that?
No.
Think of it reversed now. Do you see how nothing 'good' of the person can be based on posts? |

Amazing. Nm. I now see why it is that he didn’t take the time to be friendly with you people.
You say you reap what you sow… okay. What do you think that means for all of you? If you get back what you give, and you were given what you perceived as a bad attitude...can you do the math for yourselves?
What a waste of time trying to reach the hearts of animals. |
