Irate Visitors Rage Here, If You Must.

[The Yeti 14]

OK, you've obviously put a celebrity's name (let's call him Kenny) into Google or some such, and seen the DeathList pop up.

'What's this ?' you say, 'Kenny dead ?' or 'This looks intriguing' and so you've ended up here ... only to find the list wasn't what you expected and we seem to be predicting the death of Kenny.

'My God, they've killed Kenny!- How dare they!' And now you want to tell the list owner how much of a bastard he is, how dare he, that he isn't fit to be a dog turd on the bottom of Kenny's shoe, that Kenny is so fabulous that everything Kenny produces is worthy of worship, even his farts. Etc, etc.

So instead of being irate in random places all over this list:
a ) Firstly, think of a nice nickname to go by - Guest isn't very interesting really is it ? Something that proves how loyal you are to Kenny. Say like 'Kenny's Butt Boy'
b ) Vent your spleen here. Go on tell us we're all evil. We have heard it before you know.
c ) Then go read what the purpose of the list is ... really, we're not willing or wishing Kenny dead, just think there's an odds-on chance (or not) that'll he'll keel over sometime soon. Probably because he's old, disease ridden, into drugs, gets drunk a lot, or drives too fast. Or he's a terrorist with US Gov after him. Or some other dangerous sport.

Now, do you understand ? No ? Oh well, post away anyway ...

You indicate in this posting that there is some place on your website to read about the purpose of your website. I don't seem to be able to locate it. Could you tell me where I can find it so that I may, indeed, determine exactly what purpose this site is attempting to achieve? thank you so much.

Well, the main page gives a pretty good description...

And this one a brief description...

 

About DeathList

[maryportfuncity 10,630]

I found the list in such a way - checking out the status of Charlie Drake - and frankly I've had more fun on Death List than chasing the little funster from a bygone era to ground.

 

Keem 'em comin'.

[Guest I Hate This Site]

[Grim Reaper 186]

Well thanks for at least posting in the right thread Mr Hate - we'll look forward to your broadcasts - but until then maybe try lightening up a little

Indeed, and how dare nearly every quality newspaper have a page "glorifying the deaths of famous people" on a daily basis?

 

Breathe, relax, and click the "BACK" key on your browser. It's not rocket science.

Interesting then that you've decided to make another 6 posts (so far) under other names then ... Saffron / Carlos / Burt / Margaret R / Kavorkian / Gaynickcarterfan ?

Oh they can run, they can hide, they can change their nicks, but they can't get away........from deathlist.net.....

 

Kinda like a bad car wreck, you just can't look away, no matter how hard you try.

this site is one of the sickest i've ever stumbled across

i know what you mean about not being able to look away. its morbidly facinating

keep it up

[Guest Guest_open pinecone]

Well..lets face it - if you can't laugh in the face of death, when can you?

[Guest irate visitor who must indeed ra]

I am disgusted with the contents of this site. Such sites are a disgrace to our society and have no moral purpose. I would strongly suggest that you discontinue your revolting "predictions" of death and take up a healthier and more productive hobby, rather than spending your lives obsessing over which "celebrity" will be the next to pass away. One assumes my complaint will fall on deaf ears, judging by your responses to previous "irate visitors"; nevertheless I feel you must accept that this site is, at the very least, an extremely strange way to spend one`s time - at worst, it is plain sickening.

Troll spotting - the new Deathlist hobby.

[Guest prophet of doom]

OK, you`ve noted that "prophet of doom" (lower case) is the same person as the "irate visitor" - and how, exactly, does that disprove my comments about the pointlessness / weirdness of this list ? Is someone with two different nicknames not allowed to complain or something ?

 

I await a sensible response to my complaints about this site.

 

Cheers,

Yes but you made a prediction of a death, and then you choose to complain.

Why?

[Guest One Man Jury]

Because he's a cretin, that's why!

[The Four Horsemen 26]

I think the main paradox here is that if this site is disgusting, wierd etc etc then why join in?

Added to which, I don't think that this is a disgusting etc site compared to quite a few others readily available on the net.

 

Here's how I would summarise:

Step 1: Get a list of old/ill people.

Step 2: Discuss which ones are closer to dying

Step 3: Create list of 50 people who you think will die this year

 

It's not like we have a street party whenever one of them dies, it's just that the majority of contributers have a greater awareness of the transient nature of life and appreciation of their own (and everyone elses) mortality.

Criticism (constructive) isn't dismissed, but surely by posting and contributing you are undermining your own argument that the site shouldn't be posted on or contributed to?

[football_fan 42]

On April 18th, 2005 he makes the following death prediction:

 

The famous person I am referring to is none other than Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

 

Then the very next day he posts this complaint:

Do I sense a hypocrite or a schizophrenic ??

Yeah, I might suggest it in the things to do while waiting for a death thread.

 

pod, why dont you join the gang instead of calling yourself various different names and posting opposite rants?

[Guest prophet of doom]

You say that by "posting and contributing" I am opposing my own argument about this site being pointless/weird etc. But how else am I supposed to voice my concerns about this site other than writing in the forum topic which you specifically designed for people to "rant" in ? Come on...

 

And the reason I visited this site three days in a row was merely to see your responses to my comments, not indulge in the site`s obsession with mortality.

 

Also, whoever posted the bit about members of this site having a "higher appreciation of the transient nature of life " (or words to that effect) than everyone else has a somewhat inflated opinion of themselves. Just because a person does not post on this site doesn`t mean they don`t appreciate the fact of mortality; I am well aware that I and everyone else here will die some day, but find it strange that apparently intelligent people spend hours of their day predicting who will die, rather than celebrating/living their own lives.

 

I guess we`re just coming from different viewpoints, but I hope you at least understand what I`m trying to get at here.

 

Cheers,

p.o.d.

[lospalmas7 12]

Your argument about voicing your concerns would have a bit more credibility if you didn't have a name like 'prophet of doom' and have this as your first post:

I am hereby predicting that a very famous person will die very soon,possibly in the next 24 hours,and I pledge to be the first person to report this famous death to you.So watch this space to see who bites the dust...

[Lady Die 63]

Of course this website is sick!! That's what makes it such fun.
