Moggiee,
you haven't upset me. You are entitled to have your own view on things and the fact that I happen to have a different viewpoint is the joy of living in a free society - a free society gifted to us by those who fought, and died, in the wars of this country.
If you are not related to the hero to whom the condolence thread is dedicated, then pay your respects and move on. Please don't tell the rest of us how to go about expressing our condolences. Indeed, one of those you single out for a 'special mention' lost his son one year ago in two days time. Perhaps a little more consideration on your part too?
I certainly don't wish to start an argument, but surely individuals deal with death in a very individual way. It is not up to others to tell them how they should express their feelings. What ever happened to tolerance and understanding?
Kind regards,
Brian
