Saying "no disrespect intended" does nothing to actually eliminate rudeness. If you don't want to disrespect someone, don't say or do disrespectful things. It should go without saying that making fun of someone's death is never socially acceptable. You will not do this on these forums again.

If we think it's an issue that the rest of the forum should know, we may make a public post about it rather than a PM so other users know. It also tends to show how much we mean business about some rules and reduces the chance some members may try to stretch them.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to bring them up in Rules and Moderator Discussion Forum, but for now, let's get back to quotes, shall we?

I uh... have no quotes to post now.

"Imagine standing in front of the departures screen at an airport, flickering over with strange place names like other people’s passwords, each representing one more thing you’ll never get to see before you die—and all because, as the arrow on the map helpfully points out, you are here." - dictionary of obscure sorrow

"We take it for granted that life moves forward. But you move as a rower moves, facing backwards: you can see where you’ve been, but not where you’re going. And your boat is steered by a younger version of you. It’s hard not to wonder what life would be like facing the other way…"
