One would think that there has to be enough intelligence and non-pack
mentality to recognise that churlish details regarding Christy can be
read by thousands, and not just able to be read by *select* members of
this group.

In regard to this matter I would rather not call this group
insensitive & selfish. Instead I would preferably chose to consider
that members of this group are somewhat ignorant by not recognising
that some people do not want reminding of what they went through when
they lost a loved one in a similar way as Christy.

Clearly Allen was not thinking straight when he agreed to allow Peter
Lucas to publish full details.

But to my mind it takes someone in this group to step up to the plate
and suggest ways to shied this innocent victim from people who are
only interested in the macabre.

In general people deal with impending doom, sadness, and overall impotence
in different ways. In addition people seek emotional support and catharsis
in differently.

Next time you are in Alan's shoes be sure not to let anyone know.

Having been in his shoes when my son was hit by a drunk driver I find
the details offensive.
A simple update like Christy is not doing well with the Caringbridge
site would be enough.

Re: sf...........Yo, cube steak, or whatever you call yourself.....take Pat,
boris and all your other nom de plumes or friends and/or acquaintances and
operate your kill file button if you don't want to read any of Peter's
posts......sf, you go girl. If posting comments from Caring Bridge makes
Peter feel better that he is actually doing something for Christie (whether
or not it helps her or not, it gives him an outlet). If you don't want to
read his posts, chopped liver, just ignore them. There are many posts on
rfc I routinely ignore, so why can't you. Using Peter's posts about his
feelings for what is going on half a world away to attack him is what sf
called 'vile' and I am inclined to agree with her.

Whether you liked Christie or not, she contributed to this newsgroup, she
made an impact. I just read a quote from Edna St. Vincent Millay that went
like this:
"My candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night; But, ah, my foes,
and, oh, my friends- It gives a lovely light!" I think that pretty much sums
up Christie....her candle may have burned at both ends, but what a light she
made in the life of others. If Peter is touched by that light, more power
to him.....you can only hope to make such an impression........

On Topic: Food - December 27th is National Fruitcake Day. Somehow I think
Christie's quirky personality would find the absurd humor in the fact that
her last remaining day on earth may be National Fruitcake Day (smile).
Think of her in her finer moments, what made you smile and some of the
sillier times that made you giggle. That is the way we all should be
remembered.

What utter rubbish.
The only light that has touched Lucas is the light illuminating the
path for a coward to retreat from a battle.

My SO (Ruth) and I were both touched by Christy's 'light'. She sent
consoling emails after Ruth's much loved older sister (and my SIL)
passed away after an 8 year battle with cancer, and then on the 1st
anniversary of her passing.

Yes, I think she'd get a real kick out of that :-)

Because, quite obviously, 'Default User' is a *lot* more internet savvy
than most in here.... including you.

People *were* replying to trolls/stalkers. This particular troll/stalker
is one pathetic person....... bevan john kirkland.

you will reside in the land of morning mists...and you will find your

though it will not be where you left it.
