thesun, I asked if it was you, you said not. That is not "how rumours start." You are present to refute the question and quell any such 'rumours' (not that I imagine many people will read this, or care if they do). The confusion on my part arose because that poster misspelt his name exactly as you do, and such a mistake is rather odd in fervent fans of his (and such fervent fans are also rare on Mumsnet). I'm sure you can see how that would be confusing, no?
I'm afraid you are actually not helping your hero at all. You're coming across as hysterical and obsessive, though perhaps that's only so on this subject and you're very reasonable and decent on others. I'm not in a position to know. But truly, can't you see that caring this much about a total and utter stranger, based solely on fan info carefully designed to feed your fixation and part you from as much cash as possible, is inherently a shallow proccupation? The intense emotions you seem to feel about the man are based on nothing of any real depth. It is ersatz emotion. You didn't know him and he didn't know you. That's the reality.
You've always lost an argument if you have to hurl personal comments about and put words into the other party's mouth, btw. Repeat posting as you do, in flurries, doesn't really help either. You keep saying things like "that proves my point!" which might be easier if you'd actually made any I can discern. Mostly you just jump about from insulting the Chandlers to insulting posters here, flinging non sequiteurs about Jackson's fabulousness in for ballast, which doesn't really further debate.
Someone doesn't have to be a nice man for a thread gloating about his death to be vile. That goes both ways. It isn't pleasant for anyone to die IMO, when they aren't axe murderers, and they leave children behind them. There are still very grave and unanswered questions about Jackson's interest in young boys, and the character of the Chandler father isn't relevant there - in fact often abuse victims are selected precisely because they come from troubled and difficult families, and are therefore vulnerable. You can certainly also hold strong feelings about accepting cash instead of seeing someone go to trial, when allowing them to evade such a trial could directly cause another child to be placed in danger, and under US law a civil (money) trial and a criminal (jail/probation) trial can happen independently, on the same case and the same facts. But that isn't the point. Nobody should gloat about ANYONE'S death, and to deny you have done so is pointless, given the thread is here and readable. You did. The hypocrisy is therefore irritating, yes.
