Just feel the preachiness high-horse stuff isn't necessary.

I don’t feel like finding that sort of stuff distasteful is being on a high horse. I feel like it’s a normal reaction to be respectful to someone who has just died. But yeah, different people handle things in different ways. It’s not a big deal.
I just think it sounds a bit callous and unsympathetic. Like it doesn’t really matter who he was, it’s still tragic. It doesn’t take a whole lot of effort to have a bit of empathy.
Just a bit of a downer to open the thread and see the first page.
