Bravo. You hit the nail on the head with that one.

I think that most would be in agreement with that. A burden is often eased if it is being shared by those who care about you. I think that it helped Stevie to share when she posted. Let's not argue...it's not appropriate

I think if anything, Stevie would probably be more disappointed in seeing the fighting going on here about her family's wishes than she would be in seeing us talking about her father's passing and our feelings about that.

I think Stevie would want to see peace rather than war. "High priestess, she's the keeper of the peace in this." ~

No. I just have a sense of perspective and realism.

Apologies for me interpeting your statement of "forum" when you mean't "thread".

As for getting a grip. Very lovely wording and sentiment. Negativity.. Well, If you feel it's negative to express my feelings that a family not have it's private business discussed on a forum then I guess I am negative. I'll sleep better now I know..

Well. I actually do have sympathy for those friends and family of the deceased.

I don't have a problem with people saying what a wonderful and loving person he was. I am a little concerned by some things. I actually agree with Kelly. It shouldn't be a surprise that privacy is no longer something to be respected. Death is always a good story I guess. As for me being cold. Well, maybe I'm seeing a rather larger picture than I did when I joined the Ledge in 2001. You'll have to ask the rest of the Ledge if I'm a cold person.

As it's your thread I will respect your wishes and I won't post on it again. In fact this may be my last post on the Ledge, period.

After the message on the Nicksfix I got the sensation he was in critical condition... it's so important he passed away surrounded by those who loved him. All my sympathies to Stevie, her family, and to all the Ledgies who lost someone recently.

P.S I'm nobody to say this, but could we all please try to avoid polemics in this thread?

I'm very sad about his death for Stevie because I know he meant so much to her and I've been dreading this day. She wrote a note on the Nicksfix. There is a photo there of she and her Dad, some of her prose and a poem. You all have probably already been there and chatted about it but I haven't had time to read through all of these posts today.

Jess had a very full life, it seems from all accounts he was a wonderful man, may he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with Stevie and her family at this time, and all of you who have lost your parents. I will be sure to give my Dad an extra long hug next time.

I'm on vacation, get a chance to come online and my friend IMs me and tells me about Stevie's dad. I couldn't even believe it. I don't even know what I can say. I feel so bad

sounds great.. so long

It's a pity that we can't even discuss the death of Stevie's father without negativity peppering the thread.

Have we really sunk that low around here?

For the most part, this has been a kind, respectful thread, with sweet comments made by people who have been touched by Stevie's music and are saddened by, or can relate to, the loss she's experiencing. I don't see anything disrespectful about that.

For once... just once... let's not dissolve into bickering and grade-school behaviour.

^ Thank you, Johnny Stew. The voice of reason yet again.

I wish you wouldn't feel that way and I'm sorry that you do.

SandyMac · #**177** 08-12-2005, 02:45 PM

I didn't expect a note from Stevie about her Dad, just a news statement about his passing on the Nicks Fix. When I read her note, tears started to flow down my face, I couldn't stop them. It is nice that she wrote that note to her friends and wanted it posted on her site to share with her fans as well.

Starling · #**178** 08-12-2005, 02:49 PM

As far as the bickering goes....well....

I think the whole thing just got misunderstood and blown out of proportion. When someone dies, anyone, even if you don't 'know' them but are familiar with their background via a huge medium such as Stevie (or anyone), it brings the topic of death very close and personal to each of us, as we will each eventually face it ourselves and someone we're close to. I think, as humans, talking about it, expressing sorrow and sympathy because it hits close to home, is natural. I can't imagine that sending condolences would be off-putting...and this is more for us than for Stevie, as most likely, she is spending her energy on her family and herself. I don't personally feel that this is innapropriate to express a heart felt sorrow of Jess' passing...even if most of us didn't know the man, the fact that it's a death, something deep and touches all of us, is what's being conveyed. Death can feel tragic to the person who's dealing with the loss...and to others', it's sad and upsetting. I think it all depends on one's viewpoint and situation. Anyhow....
I hope that made sense!

Nixxxed · #**179** 08-12-2005, 02:53 PM

My condolences to everyone who's expressed loss in this thread, and of course to those who loved Mr. Nicks.

OK LISTEN TO ME- Liquid and Mac...
Emotions are running too high- I can feel them way over here in New Hampshire. You both just need to calm, calm, down. You are both passionate in your opinions-which is clear- but the Emotions are getting the best of you both.

(Not a good thing)

We don't want to never hear from Mac again and we don't want Liquid to be angry. What we all want to be a community of giving/thoughtful/caring, although somewhat too intense..."friends". Isn't that what we try to be to and for each other?

Please, Please LISTEN TO ME- Emotions are running away and are too strong. Take a breath, don't ruin what we all share by letting anger and opinions take on a life of their own.
OK...?? OK!

My wishes for only sweet, calm, soothing, and positive heartfelt interactions, today and tomorrow in our dreams at night ~~
