But to come here and be blatantly disrespectful and calling their grief "making a public spectacle of someone's passing" or to imply that they are in any way inconvenienced by the way a person grieves, which has jack shit to do with them, is ridiculous. I'm not being defensive, I'm being blunt. If they could do it, so can I. But asking for something like this is no different than real life public memorials to people, so either they need to figure out their problems with grief, or make a simple "I do not agree with this" statement and move on. That's it. That's all that was required, and yet, people chose to be down right rude. So yes, I'm aggravated, if that's what you mean by defensive.
