I'm sorry but I find it very hard to believe that you don't form an opinion on something before you know the facts. Ok you might not say it. But as anotherdouble says,it's human nature.

Yes I agree people can and do jump to conclusions.
Some others have enough respect not to post them on a public forum

I refer you to my signiture

You have certainly also removed some doubt about yourself. Sanctimony and arrogance so rarely co-exist. Wind your neck in.

Putting in a clever signature comment which you clearly don't really understand because it refers to a rather different type of circumstance and comment, does not make you clever.

Geldof had a drugs problem in the past. It is therefore not a jump to conclusions, barely a hop or long step really, to speculate that did for her.

Not really. North Mimms referred to his signature comment:

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt

I guess he thinks that makes him clever. The irony ....

Anyway, he therefore called me a fool. I would suggest he is that which he alleges because the pithy motto refers to someone who says something which shows they know not that of which they speak. The cause of Geldof's death is currently unconfirmed, but highly likely to be either suicide or misadventure with drugs. It is not impossible but rather unlikely to be natural causes. 25 year old seldom die of natural causes just like that. Suggesting the likely causes of death is entirely reasonable, and if one or other in conformed, the tone will soon turn in a different direction. North Mimms will have to be poised over the 'report' button then.

i believe North Mimms may well be a lady ( apologies if wrong )

but i do see the premise of her meaning in her posts and im guessing she wasnt trying to be insulting to anyone.

Just thought the reaction was a little bit over the top thats all

I didn't actually call you a fool- you seem to have leapt to that conclusion yourself.
Anyhoo- as a Moderator you have the power to respnd to any reporting that happens- THAT's irony.

and I'm female. Maybe that makes me more empathetic that the mother of two such young children has died so young.

I'll leave the thread and let those that want to speculate carry on.

It's interesting, when this kind of thing happens it always generates these kind of polar reactions.

I'm not sure anything disrespectful has been said, wait for the inevitable jokes that will follow.:o

I'm not sure it's anything different from the supposition that will happen in the papers tomorrow.

It may be wide if the mark but you don't have to be Quincy to have an opinion.
 
I think the point is all your opinions are worthless, for all we know she slipped walking down the stairs in a pair of over sized slippers. To try and stake an opinion with any smudge of certainty seems silly given what we know (nothing).

Getting weighed down with Irony! :whistle:

There will always be speculation. As long as it's not disrespectful, there's no real harm.

That doesn't diminish the sadness/loss of family/friends.

I had a read back through the comments and cant seem to see where or how you you came to this conclusion .... more than yourself has commented on their thoughts but you seem to be taking it personally ...

for the record my first thought are the same as yours , i did choose to wait and hear more before i was going to comment tho ..
i must admit to be shocked by your reply as i have come to see you as one of the sensible /rational ones on here
 
I for one find it not credible to be suicide or OD, sorry but she loved her children and she knew what it was like not to have a mother whilst growing up. It will all come out in the end what is very sad is there are two small children without the love of their mother.

You are missing the point. Don't confuse speculating on likely causes of death with any disregard for her death or lack of regard for the tragedy for her family. Shortly, if OD or other misadventure is confirmed, the mood will shift to one that is much more critical.

If you don't want to speculate, fine, don't. Saying nothing here about the COD should not be confused as being empathetic.

I am father of two young children, but gender is not noted on the signatures and I do not particularly follow your posts to know otherwise. It makes no difference one way or the other though.
