to be upset by stupid comments on another forum?

[crashingwaves]

Hi, I'm sorry, I probably am BU but I was really upset by the beheading of the poor woman in Tenerife. It just made me feel sick and she looks a little bit like my own mum and it really, really upset me and brought her own death back.

I posted on another forum about it and someone replied with a really stupid and insensitve comment. AIBU to feel upset?

somebody nobody knows being beheaded in tenerife is different
Oh for chrissakes people were just chatting about a news story - doesn't need a major investigation into its appropriateness does it?

I don't think discussing somebodys horrific murder is rubbernecking TSC, if anything it goes some way to giving a balance to posters saying we're desensitiz(s?)ed by violent crimes.

Taking out the posters who can be scarily involved in someone elses pain, most people are just trying to make sense of a senseless death.

The time we should be worried about peoples concern is when there's a lack of it, and nobody bothers to wonder what can drive a person to do such a disgusting thing to an innocent woman.

Post Of The Day, TSC!

'I AM HORMENTAL...'

hehe, love that

And it's those kind of stupid insensitive comments the OPs talking about ursula. Not fucking funny.

I apologise, I did think at the time that I was being a twat. Will report myself to the boss.

I just did a fart that sounded like Brian Blessed saying "RAWR"

urgh

urgh again

But it's peoples concern and respect for the victim and their family that drives them to take an interest in the crime TSC.

Like the OP they're all coming at it from their own personal experiences, but that's what gives them a connection.

It's not a selfish connection just because they're trying to understand what the family is going through and that's how they get to the understanding.

How awful for something so brutal to happen and nobody says a word about it, no sad faces or concern because they're worried they'll seem inappropriately involved.

It's a human story. As fellow humans we are geared to show concern and want to express our sadness when something bad befalls another human. It really is that simple.

Pagwatch I was not adressing your post but Bibbity's origninal pot about the OP hijacking somone elses tragedy. There was no need to leap on me. I have no issue with anyone.

One of my FB friends also put a "joke" on his status about it .

I think it is just awful .

You can PM people though can't you Pagwatch? Rather than have a private conversation on an unrelated thread on which one of you has accused the OP of hijacking .

Really hypocritical!!
