This result is not a surprise, the question was when...

Often, lots of talent comes with lots of burden.

At least she made the 27 club.

I'm actually surprised. I never expected Pete Doherty to outlive her.

^ Heh looks like a chav here.

A lot of people enabled her. That's the sad part.

Bad news indeed. Check my sig for further details!

We would create one, but then people like you would crap all over it like you did in this one.

A thread was created to remember 9/11 and you said:

I wonder how many Americans know of the top off their head how many were killed in Srebrenica. In fact, I wonder how many have even heard of it. Hell, not even the spell-checker in my browser has...

I've noticed that the mods sure go offtopic a lot at deadthority.necro

ch_123 · « **Reply #12 on:** Sun, 24 July 2011, 12:31:23 »

I believe I was making a point about the lack of knowledge/coverage of non-American atrocities, so thanks for proving my point!

Incidentally, how goes your battle with paranoid schizophrenia? We were all worried for you, and slightly amused as well.

Of course, but people are far more apt to enable the likes of junkies like Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, etc, because of the fame, fortune, blah blah blah.

Good thing this thread going off-topic/rude posting/combative behavior is in the "Off-Topic" sub-forum, and that it's not specifically Geekhack related, or I would have pressed the BIG RED REPORT BUTTON.

It's just a different type forum than Geekhack. It will take it a while to find it's niche.

Do remind me, what do you do around here anyway? Other than talking about Deskthority of course...

I'm sure we could always let you back in. We could always do with some more wild conspiracy theories about Webwit stalking you.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #25 on:** Sun, 24 July 2011, 17:32:09 »

Usually I talk about keyboards, provide lulz and post awesome pics like these.

How do you un-ban someone who banned themselves?

Oh man! If you're going to derail this thread (which I think is fine in a non-keyboard, off-topic forum)....at least post a photo of geekgirl wannabe as a sort of pay-off....

Why does she have my old keyboard? I know its mine because it has my Titanium Esc key. Creepy, going to go scrub myself ala Ace Ventura Pet detective.

For the past couple of days, I was too busy for revisiting the thread. More action than I would expect.

I chose not because Norway was already in every news papers and TV channels. At least over here in Canada. I didn't see any reason to add one more channel to it.

Amy's death was a surprise, as opposed to a flood of information about the even sadder events in Norway.

Does she has the right to rest in peace even if she was troubled?
Can she rest in peace even if a crazy fk killed more or less 90 innocents in Norway?

I like her early work.

RIP Amy

I paid as little attention to AW as I could before she died. I take two things from her death:

After watching a couple of videos, simply out of curiosity, I was surprised to find that I think she was talented enough to be in the 27 Club with Joplin, Cobain, Hendrix, and Morrison. The list of female singers who I enjoy listening to, is very short. AW has posthumously made that list with Martina McBride, Norah Jones, and maybe 5 others.
No amount talent = any amount of common sense or intelligence.

Her death is a tragedy, but I hope her life wasn't anyone's gold standard, either.

That's a bit too harsh MW. We all did dumb things when we were young. The difference was that we didn't have a million dollars to do it with.
