Remembering our dead

Post Reply New Topic

I don't know if there's already a site for this... if so I woud ike a link so I can put it in my signature. I propose a page, either here or on Aspergers-online.com (COMET/Daniel's board-- I think he'll be happy to host it!) rememberig our dead, with thir screen names nd real names, their ictures, other info bout them, a link to all their posts on WP, info on where, when and how and why they died, etc, and maybe a link on the left side of the page with the other ones and up there at the top of the page.

I don't think there's really a point to that. People aren't dying off at the rate of say, 1 a week, are they?

In over 3 years, I think quite a few have died... suicides, homicides, haven't there been a couple on WP?

If you do not know of those that have passed, if you did not know them, then such a memorial is little more than a meaningless gesture.

The fact that they're Aspies is enough for me... I was just wondering whow many people felt the same way.

but would people who really cared about them and loved them want that. or would they even want it.

Yes, although it is nice to remember the loved ones who passed away, it wouldn't be a good idea, because of that, not all people who loved them would want that, most of them might prefer to keep that quite and private.

I'm a very public person, I guess. I'm the type of showy person who would put a person's whole life story on their tombstone in some attractive unique poetic manner.

Hmm, so now you want to glorify suicide.... ?

That says all it needs to. The life and passing of a human being should never be made into a spectacle.

Poor them.

A person's life should not be trivialised. However, people should be remembered.

It might be useful in case someone is reading through old posts to know if a user whose post they read is dead. You could get to know someone by their posts. How the implementation of this would work I don't know.

How about a custom title of "dead" followed by a choice of "natural causes", "suicide", "mass murderer" and "misadventure"?

That's a bit morbid. I would agree. However, I would think that it would be simpler to use a dedicated thread in the Stats forum, but it also needs the consent of kith or kin.

If such a such a site/thread came to be ana54, i think kingcrimsons name should not be listed as he despised you.
