Debbie Reynolds dies

[lionking]

I didn't see any celebrating of Fisher's death. i saw some annoyance at the faux trauma some overly sensitive people claimed to experience and the ire expressed at 2016 who is completely innocent in Fisher's death.

Where did I say there was celebrating? I used the term "dancing on graves" which all should realise is a sarcastic saying.

Yeah...you are right. Personally, I just didn't see the sarcasm at the time.

Nevertheless...It's all good!

If you are using it in some obscure way that only you know about, okay but it is a reasonable assumption using the long standing meaning of the expression.

If you will dance on someone's grave, you will outlive or outlast them and will celebrate their demise.

Wrong again.

Look you were the one criticising those who were mourning people they felt strongly about. You were the one declaring such sentiments unworthy. You were doing a polka dance on Carrie Fisher's grave, IMVHO (happy?). If you want me to interpret those posts of yours as celebrating, fair enough.

I think it should also be pointed out Fisher took the piss out of herself and her mental illness all the time.

She spent years helping people with mental illness doing it.

I hope that is not directed at my post, because it's absolutely irrelevant.

No

Not at all.

Just everyone having to be solemn in general

Oh, these ANZACS!

Yup.

You were the one declaring such sentiments unworthy.

Nope. I declared that making Fisher's death about you and not Fisher/her family and friends unworthy.

Only in a deluded mind.

Perhaps that wasn't the phrase you meant to use, in my experience 'dancing on someone's grave' is synonymous with celebrating someone's death.

Eta: I see this has already been pointed out, even the same citation and quote. Nevermind

Meanwhile.

I'm guessing they will have some sort of dual service?

I just wish posts in bad taste with regard to someone's death were at least funny.

Indeed. In another thread "I wonder when they are going to leia out". *********** hilarious.

Two graves to dance on now. Some posting will be deliriously happy with this.

Hilarious!
