That thread was a perfect storm: some people not liking Dids + him making that statement + tragic event + people getting a chance to get on their high horse and act self-righteous at him = thread derailment. I totally understood the point he was making with his initial comment. Sure, it wasn't necessary. The problem was that *he* did it so everybody piled on, and then he felt the need to defend himself, and they called him more names, rinse, repeat. It would have been best if he let well enough alone after that first post.
