A sad day for the escapist, as we have lost a dear friend

[Urgh76]

Can we make threads about someone dying? I mean I don't want to come off as mean but what business is it of complete strangers like us to know that someone on this website is no more?

Friends

.....

that's basically it

If it's truly a personal situation among friends (as all deaths are) then those people should have gotten a personal message or an email at best a phone call not some public announcement on a forum. Honestly I consider it rude and an attempt to gather random sympathy from strangers. Sure that is not the case but that's what it appears to me. This is a private event. It should be treated as such.

Hmm, I probably should have said something more than just "friends"

To me it doesn't seem like random sympathy; it seems like it's for people to pay their respects and....... well..... yeah.

As for about why it's being brought up in the public like this......... that may actually just be a matter of opinion.

People can be friendly and just share their condolences if they want, but I just don't see sharing a death to be "rude" so long as it's not in a spiteful way.

What value is there in the condolences of strangers? You, me, them. We are all just people. People are without value but a person is invaluable. The condolences of a person close too you could mean the whole world but what difference does it make if some passerby came and said "sorry" and just kept on with there day? Where does genuine heartfelt expression begin and kneejerk preprogrammed cultural responses end?

Feelings are not some item you need to get as much of as possible to put value on a tragic event. It's a bit more complicated than that. It means actually caring and being attached. Sure you can be one of those really nice people who'd shed a tear for a lost dog if you knew someone had lost one but that just means your carelessly taking on stress and pressures of life that have nothing to do with you.

Maybe I'm just not of the ilk most people are as all these people are giving there condolences.

You're a soulless idiot. Maybe you get off on it, but that's that. The kindness of strangers actually may mean something to some people. If you can't respect that, why the hell did you bother posting here in the first place? Let people pay their respects without having to listen to your idiotic diatribes.

.... did you read what he said?

Though I did not meet her in life nor did I read any of her posts before, that I remember, I still wen to check out her profile. Born in 1992... damn.

It always sting a little harder when someone younger them you goes ahead.

But hey, if she elicited such a response from people, she already made a difference. At the very least, I own you one for showing me that there are a lot of people out there who care.

Godspeed, girl.

It's true, we all die, but like the person said above, a life is a fucking LIFE.
Don't be so quick to disregard what a beautiful thing it can be.

May she never run out of coins in the great arcade in the sky.

I did indeed. And I would suggest that if you want to carry on with this type of debate, then you might do it in another thread, or through other means. This thread was created for a different purpose.

My condolences to her friends and family. May she rest in peace.

You make it sound like I'm genuinely being mean. I'm honestly quite flummoxed by your words. I did visit this thread to figure out what people were saying seeing as it's gotten many comments. I thought it was maybe someone I didn't know but was like the soul of the website or something. When I found out it was some stranger but everyone was still giving there sympathies that genuinely confused me.

I don't think like you do but rather than ignore you or demonize you I search for answers. What I've said may have offended you but I didn't do it to hurt you. I did it to understand you.

Then I'll simply notch it down to bad timing. I'll be more than glad to explain to the best of my abilities why death seems to draw such unique reactions from a community, but I'll do so at a proper time and place. This is neither.

You.....

You are a very sincere guy who means everything he says, aren't you? You only take sincere answers as well....

I haven't met many people like that. However I'm sure glad I was able to. You taught me a lot today... thanks

Drop it. Not the time nor the place.

This is here so people who knew or care about this person have a chance to pay their respects. That's all. If you have no business here please don't post.

Thank you.

I didn't know Kortney, but my (real-life) community did just experience a car-accident death of a well-loved son, brother, and friend. I can empathize with the raw pain that kind of tragedy brings. It's so unfair, so cruel and pointless...all we can do is come together and comfort each other in our sadness.

If her family/friends are okay with it, I will pray for all of them.

 

[Boba Frag]

I'm sorry to say I didn't know her, but I extend my deepest sympathies to all her friends and family regardless.
That's so tragic...- a friend of mine lost a family member to a similar accident not so long ago. My God, and so young too.

Rest in peace.

 

[Norris IV]

Always a shame when someone is killed in a careless car accident, R.I.P

 

[tanithwolf]

I did not know Kortney, but from what I have read she sounds like a great person and her absence is a great loss for this world. My deepest respects.

And thank you for respecting my opinion and treating me with kindness and consideration. And adding me as a friend. That was very nice of you. I am always happy to meet and talk to someone like yourself thank you very much.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

I'm sorry to hear that. She and her family will be in my prayers.
I remember her posts, and she will be missed

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

I always loved seeing her pop up in threads. D:
Her family and friends have my condolences.

 

[OneStepAhead]

R.I.P. Kortney.
Never knew her, but i'm sure she deserves our respect.
I wish her well in the next life.

 

[default]

Rest in peace, Kortney. It all ended far too soon for you <3

 

[Canid117]

I didn't know her but I am sorry for your loss.

 

[ezeroast]

From looking back at a few of her posts she seems to have been a great gal. I'm possitive sorley missed by many.
