I was just looking at a Bored Board thread on my iPhone, and for some reason a glitch had occurred where Stui's goofy avatar had disappeared and was appearing next to my posts instead. What is the Internet trying to tell me? Are Stui and I kindred spirits?

Be afraid

Well I guess you've had pot shots at everyone else, so no WTF there!
What is surprising is that since you have been advocate for those down and out or down on their luck, or addicted to what ever, you somehow think it's an over reaction, and that that over reaction is a bad thing
If the story of the greatest clown ever, a true comic genius who has made every one laugh or cry at some point, (even our David can quote from one of his movies) could not beat his own demons, had a sadness so great he chose not to try and live through it anymore.........
If that story can get beyond blue, and the true cost of depression, a bloodless bruiseless cruel disease, out there on the front page. Get just one person through it, to see that they are not alone, this isn't a poor mans, fat mans, dumb mans, disease, and they can find the help they need, well.....
As Jacquie and other have said, we are truly affected by his death, while we could have done nothing to help him from afar, he has indeed helped us at times, escape from reality, we all need that sometimes, and it's no crime.....
Mel Gibson? Well there is a man desperately in need of help. Such a shame. Tim was a truly great movie. And on other days, so is mad max.
Cheers

"Greatest clown ever"? Take your hand off it.
Robin Williams will rightly be famous for many years as one of the very, very few American humorists to have the rare gift of actually being funny. To get a sense of perspective here, compare the Americans with, say, the French or the English - which is a bit unfair since that puts the Yanks way out of their depth and up against some real class, but makes the point. As humorists, the crass, try-hard Americans have talent the way jellyfish has claws. Williams was a glorious exception: he was indeed a true clown of quality. But to call him the "greatest ever" is laughable. Perhaps the ignorant Yanks and a few blinkered Yank-lovers might think so, but only because, being Americans, they have so little experience of quality humour.

Really? I don't find it particularly strange that the suicide of a popular actor should provoke response. What have you found odd about it?
