Yes, I'm aware of who you were conversing with. And yes, I sure am entitled to my opinion about your posting. Now, let's get back to what I asked you. You wrote to Barry: "Well we're talking about the death notices of plain folks, not famous ones." What was your point? That famous folks are more likely to have unpleasant deaths than "plain folks," and therefore we should assume that reports of peaceful deaths of "plain folks" are always true?

Then he didn't die (near death doesn't count), did he? I didn't disagree - I didn't comment on that at all; that, Share, is a lie. *You* determined to subvert the conversation and brought up "lying", as if that has anything to do with anything.
