Since I want everyone to be able to see this and not have it screened, I'm posting this here.

tigerwof's post on the death of Steve Irwin was off topic, was a violation of community rules, unnecessarily lead to wankage and confusion for many members of this community, and am frankly upset that the leadership in this community is trying to pass this entire debacle as no big deal. While tigerwolf is entitled to his own opinion, it was unnecessary to come across as gloating over the death of a man in ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
cf_hardcore. tigerwolf has his own journal for this and I'm sure that there is some sort of "I hate Steve Irwin" community somewhere on this vast Internet that he could have made this post. As a member who actively participates in this community, I'm concerned over its future, if recent events are any indicator. I'm am tired of seemingly random moderator decisions, such as the demotion of other moderators, that effect a community with nothing being said to its members. It would behoove the leadership to inform the community when actions such as this are taken so members can be aware of the direction their community, and often safe haven, are taking. I hope cf_hardcore will be better than before, and that I won't be so bitterly disappointed again.

Im not that good
Mine is kind of a more
"I'm right, you're wrong, and my metaphorical balls are mighty and swing pendulously"
But that's just me
To gloat over anyone's death is crass. I still don't understand the deletion of the community. But there should be some sort of action taken over the wankage that ensued. Many of us know what it's like to lose a parent. Regardless of my feelings on children, I would not wish this on anyone.
Having said that, I shall shut up now :)
Deleting the whole community over a simple post is just pathetic.
I hope next time any annoying posts appear they get deleted instead. Like in any other community, too.
I must be the only one in this community who didn't read his post (in this comm, rather, not the post in his personal journal) as gloating, and I've SEEN people in here gloat over stupid things, including violence against shitlings and whatnot.
I guess I'm just defective, then.
But then how much more off topic was the Steve Irwin Crocabyebaby mention than the speculation that peoples' parents failed them? THAT post belongs in a community for generalized Stupid People Hate, and really isn't particularly childfree hardcore, but no one complained about that.
Jesus Christ on a fucknut, get over it all and move on, people.
We're here because we acknowledge children are stupid, vacuous wastes of space and the BREEDERS that keep spawning them are completely and utterly wastes on society. You don't like that simple fact? Go gah-gah over baby Suri and dream about what it would be like to have Tom Cruise's baby. Otherwise, grow the fucking hell up already.
Being childfree is one of the most diverse groups that exist. People are childfree for plethora of reasons and many of them have nothing to do with thinking babies are "wastes of space" and that all people who produce any deserve to be called breeders and trotted about comically after they die.
There is so much hate here its ridiculous. I understand some people just hate babies, that's fine and I'm perfectly tolerant of that but violence and "wank" as people have been putting it is just immature and uncalled for.
This is a guy who lived in a modest house, made millions of dollars, and sunk most of that money into buying land around Australia so thumb-twiddling condo assholes couldn't go buying it up and developing over habitat. I find that a lot more important than his kids. I could give a shit about the kids.
Parent does not equal breeder. I have no information, opinion, or care on whether Steve Irwin was either. I care that he did more for animals in 44 years of life than what you will in 60-90 years of being a twunt.
Hell, the vast majority of adults have had kids. Would it be ok if I copy my newspaper's obit colums here daily? I'll try to only include the breeders, just to stay within the rules.
fucking troll
That's why it's childfree hardcore. I am seriously sick of this hypocrisy. I may not have agreed with
I don't see why everyone is so upset over this. When that plane went down recently, I cracked a joke about how if I was on a plane with 45 kids, I would have tried to crash it too. Yeah, over 100 people died and I made fun. I got a lot of laughs over that one. And let's be honest here, people, if
Please people, grow the hell up...stop making new entries about it, pissing and moaning the same ridiculous ideas that made us all leave
I also agree with you on the trolling of people's personal journals. I looked at Latisha's journal when the community was deleted and was upset at the anonymous posts in her journal. It was uncalled for, and I hope if any of these jackasses can be tracked that LJ abuse takes action.
His death was not connected to children, or the fact that he was a father in anyway.
So why is it that people can post comments about his death, saying he deserved it and that they're glad, simply because he had kids? It's hypotritical and pathetic.
I know, I'll make a post about a firefighter who died in the line of duty, but I'll belittle his memory and his family because he had kids! LOLZ
Dude was in fact filmeing for *his daughter's show* when the incident occurred. This was printed in numerous articles all over the world and is confirmed. So in a very real way, yes, Virginia, his kids were involved somehow.
Only other thing I have to say before I get off my soapbox of truth is that there is a tremendous difference between rejoicing in the death of a person and finding gallows humor in the irony of the *way* they died. Most people here were acting as if they were one and the same. They are not.
Finally, the hand wringing, overreaction, and sarcasm isn't attractive on either side of the arena. Won't someone please invoke Godwin and put this circus to sleep? Ah well.
And now I'm returning to my "fuck this wank, I'm staying out of it" corner.
Had it being a post about Michael Jackson there would have being a friggin FESTIVAL. of people celebrating his death, regardless who posted it. THAT is a hypocrisy of a highest degree.
(Almost) everyone who jumped into that thread is guilty of creating a wankfest and behaing like immature morons. No one is going to be banned.
And while I don't believe I would act like you described in the Micheal Jackson situation, due to my own experiences, I do concede that it would probably be the case. And it is, as you said, hypocrisy of the highest degree.
