In reply to the discussion: Who silenced Paul Walker? Walker dead in fiery crash [View all]PeaceNikki
(27,985 posts)144. The whole thing is just so.... weird.
I mean, ok, if the OP was using his death to make some point of some ongoing dispute had here on DU - whatever. Boo her if you must. But to act like this is the most offensive thread ever posted in the history of DU is fucking laughable. To bring, 'ermahgerd, think of his family' up is... strange. A) I don't think any of his family reads DU. B) I doubt his family is scouring the intertubes today looking for awful things posted about him and C) even if they were and HAPPENED to land here, like me, they'd be confused.
I just don't get it.

Do you prefer the term 'exploited' for what you are doing to a good person who died tragically?
