> Just because YOU don’t feel affected or won’t miss Robin Williams, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have compassion or empathy for those of us who will. This is one of those times where you would have been best served simply withholding your opinion because it adds nothing constructive to the conversation and, frankly, is disrespectful.
Tell me one thing.
Why should i care? Why should i respect him?
This is the first time i have even heard about him, so i have no idea who he is, what he has done or why has he done anything.
You have the internet at your fingertips, do your own research. Ignorance is not an acceptable reason for being disrespectful and abrasive.
I’m not asking you to respect Robin Williams, I’m asking you to respect the other people on the forum who are obviously upset. Posting “I won’t” doesn’t do anything but upset them (us?) even further. Saying nothing would have been far better than what you posted.

Okay, i checked who he was. He was some actor who had a role in some movies i have never heard of before.
Does it really matter if you liked his movies or not or whether or not you heard of him? Others do know who he was and his movies and the fact he committed suicide shocks people even more. A lot of us grew up with him as a big role in out childhoods. I remember his roles in Aladdin, Jumanji, Hook and Miss Doubtfire to name of few. It’s fine if you aren’t moved or anything, but to be so callous is just rude.
Some things you just keep to yourself out of tact.

Sorry man, but people dying is a very delicate topic, and coldly expressing one doesn’t care what happened to them doesn’t sound like “fun”.
Just refrain from posting anyone of this nonsense. I don’t want to see a thread lock or anyone getting perma-banned. Alright? Don’t do it for yourself, do it for everyone.
