I do agree with you that the mods do a good job. I thought about not responding to this, but I felt that I wanted to at least try one more time to explain why I said what I did say. There is no way that with a forum this size that there will not be division. We all have our opinions and this actually is a good thing. In saying what I did, about the photos of the body parts, it was completely out of respect for Travis and his family. I was in no way trying to shame or lay a guilt trip on anyone. Perhaps you were not reading the same comments I was, because in no way were the comments necessary to any events leading up to the crime. I am fully aware that all aspects of the case must be discussed. But, sometimes people can go beyond what is factual and begin to start to make comments that could be hurtful to loved ones. I admit that I might also be over the top on certain things. But, never, ever about a victim. I don't believe that anyone here would ever want to hurt Travis or his family. But, people sometimes do, unknowingly. And, while making jokes is done by all of us at one time or another, I was only expressing my frustration that complete strangers to the family, were laughing and joking about a victims body parts.
I have had to repeat this many times because new posters come and question what was said, but I just think that if each of us would stop and think before we make a post, that we might be able to self-censure ourselves. If we think of the victim as one of our loved ones, would we find it funny to joke about their intimate body parts? That's all I am saying.
