...because many of my comments then are relevant to what I wanted to say to you, and I didn't feel like retyping the whole thing. I thought by pointing out that I was pasting it, you might've figured that out.

And I reiterate, I don't think ANYBODY has found her death earth-shaking or important; they've just found it very sad, and have been viciously attacked for it (and again, not by YOU, but en masse yesterday).

To start out from a debate point of "she wasn't a national treasure" is to begin from a point of hyperbole that has no resemblance to what was ever going on among those who chimed in to mourn her passing.

You haven't visited the forum in awhile? Then be grateful you didn't see a few threads in particular yesterday. I know you from your previous posts as a very decent person, and I'm pretty sure you'd have found them dismaying at the very least.
