In reply to the discussion: On Grave-Dancing [View all]Happy Hoosier
(7,216 posts)61. I don't generally grave dance... BUT....
I will not criticize those who do when the deader is a such a shit person.
I'm done with sympathy. I'm done with being nice. We've tried that and it has brought us to the edge of disaster.
Kirstie Alley was a terrible person. The world is better off without her in it. I believe that and don't feel bad about it.
If you have a little checklist about when it is acceptable for you or other people to celebrate the death of a terrible person. I'm absolutely FINE with you holding yourself to some standard you feel is appropriate. I will will do the same, and ask you extend me the same courtesy I extend you.
Having said that, fuck cancer.

I'm not a fan of grave dancing either. The only people I'm ever relieved to hear they died...

In his case though, he never had the opportunity to get vaccinated (as it wasn't out yet)

My sentiments exactly. Life is too short to spend time rejoicing other people's deaths.
