Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wincenworks" data-source="post: 9604416" data-attributes="member: 7038835">This is a thread for discussing the nuTSR fiasco. Decorum in this situation requires allowing those who loved him space to grieve as they see fit. Posting in this thread isn't interrupting them and they can opt to avoid the thread, it's not driving people to post on tribute videos etc. There is no decorum that requires complete pause on the negative opinions of the deceased everywhere for unspecified amounts of time.Garycon made a very nice tribute to Ernie on X/Twitter and I can't find a single negative statement regarding him there, nobody's saying a bad word about him in response. Luke's own post on the same platform has numerous expressions of condolences, and again, no bad words. Everyone is displaying decorum (except on Reddit and that's... well it's Reddit).If that's not enough, then I suspect you consider who the new expansion of the concept of decorum now being a condition where specific type of people who were not respected in life now get this special treatment in death.  As I said, at least some of the people who Ernie invited to his wedding, and one of the people who posted a big impassioned defence of Ernie, did not believe Jennell Jacquays deserved any respect.Because that is doing what everyone is claiming nobody is doing - policing feelings, deciding that certain people are entitled to infinite forgiveness in life because of arbitrary traits while other people just have to keep suffering humiliation and insult in life for the benefit of these special dead.  That's not decorum, that's just perpetuating oppression.What is also an absolute breach of decorum, which I would think people who cared about Ernie and his family would actually care about, is people who never did anything to help him in life (or even exploited him), now being graverobbers and declaring themselves the guardians of his legacy (which they get to decide, and mysteriously benefits them) under weird pretenses.  That sort of thing should be what makes your blood boil.</blockquote>
