But to be honest this is a lot tamer than usual. #obits

Also I think the last two lines of this post are quite touching.

Or don't. Whatever the fuck ever. Carry on. Just for the record, I enjoy your zingers. When you're not being an a-hole. #obits

In the meantime, I'll get back to those zingers you love and being the a-hole you love to hate. #obits

snugbug is right to point it out to you and your defensiveness only proves to me that you know you are wrong.
Think how you'd feel if one of the nicest people you knew died a grisly death and some a-hole made childish remarks about it.
Precisely because you have the right to make fun of whatever you want, we have the right to call you out as a jerk. You can't have it only your way. #obits

1. If a person with an ample, historically documented public profile kicks the bucket, it's fair game to snark.
2. Conversely, when confronted with a random civilian who only found her/himself in the instant glare of media attention via the unfortunate circumstances of her/his death, snark is verboten.
Pretty simple, no?
Cheeri-o.

This is Gawker, and we're mean here. We're even mean to nice people. We're even mean to nice people whose deaths come too soon, in terrible ways. And when we die, we expect Gawker people to do the same to us.
This IS community. It's just perhaps one of those neighborhoods described as "edgy" in which not everyone feels comfortable. And we're pretty good with that. #obits

Jesus, you win. The right to make bad jokes about untimely deaths is intact. Now, please, go tend to the other 9000 threads you're on.
And...Jezzie? Me? Try again, thanks. #obits

Never would you think something as sinister as an elevator or escalator would/could take your life in such a manner.
Fuchs RIP buddy. Take the Stairway to Heaven...
Great drummer and a freak death. #obits

Also, could the NYC department of buildings get their effin’ act together? In 2008 I had inspectors come by to do a spot inspection and they literally said "We’re following up on actions taken in 1985..." I had to actually have them repeat that... 2009 is a followup to 1985? Oh, yeah, right... That crane fell down in the UES so someone lit a fire under your arses so you’re here now to make sure it looks like you are doing something useful. What idiots.
