Sad or mad?

errrm - I certainly know the link is a bit mad….
Oopsie!
I’m leaning towards mad rather than sad. The fact that he had few friends and an estranged son (at his sons request) says to me, he really didn’t fit in. That kind of troubled mind can often lead to a full membership to “exit”. People are saying he’s getting no news coverage - how many suicides do?
Hmm, I see what you are saying. Perhaps Sad or Mad was a difficult question to answer. I think, after reading most of the comments on the post that I fall much more on the compassionate reaction side than the “he’s a mad man and idiot” side. Mad, troubled or completely sane, he seemed to be very lucid and driven in his website and his opinions (obviously not his actions) held some weight with me and the Iraq thing.
As for the suicide coverage, it seems niavely (sp?), I had no idea there was a general rule for not reporting suicides in the media. Is that possibly US based, I see suicide reports in the local news don’t I?
Sad, mad and a complete twat…no loss to the rest of us.
pass me a marshmellow on a stick
