Why should I have to defend myself? All I started out saying was that some of you should lighten up. Honestly, I don't care what you think about me or what you think about Steve Irwin for that matter. I said it before...to each, their own. I found a few of those pictures to be amusing. You didn't. You have your opinion and I have mine.
Well you know, you posed questions, they were answered and in turn further questions were given back to you, to which you didnt reply, yet for some reason answered a completely irrelevant part of the post.
Before this gets any further, let me just say I still stick by what I said earlier, "anything said on KMC is easily forgiven/forgotten in a short while", and Im not actually targeting you in any way, I just want to know your reasoning for saying that disrepectful and uncalled for jokes (which as I said earlier were meant as nothing but to discredit him) should be ok?
Given the response to the thread starters initial post, there were some pretty pissed off people. Ok, freedom of speech and some such nonsense, but you dont see me running off to the Religion forum and starting threads with no relevance other than to discredit and make fun of other peoples beliefs and whatever they regard as important, its a simple matter of respect.
Ok, you found those pictures funny, we didnt...I can laugh at pictures of Jesus, while others find them disrepectful, but Im not going to go and paste them everywhere so others can join in the laugh. But part of that repsect we have for Steve Irwin comes from his actions towards the environment and the wildlife, you can argue he was only provoking things, but fact is he did good things. So if someone comes in and starts slandering off about him, they have no respect for the man himself, no respect for the things he did, and no respect for others who may hold him in high regard, and they deserve the backlash.
With that, Im off to bed, may the force be with you, good night.
