A note.

I recently received a rather nasty comment (which I chose not to publish), telling me that I was being insensitive, unfair, and other such things, because I had posted a RIP post for Farrah Fawcett, but not for Michael Jackson.

Any death is sad and unexpected, and can cause a range of emotions, even if you did not know the deceased personally. Some may argue that Farrah's passing was expected, and she was 'older', so therefore not as deserving of publicity as Michael Jackson's unexpected and tragic death, and he had given so much to Entertainment industry, rather than someone like Farrah, who had been famous as an icon in the 70s.

I am not about to compare two deaths. I am very sorry for the passing of MJ, but I am not going to adjust my posts under pressure from others. If you search google, 58,400,000
results appear from 'Michael Jackson Death', but only 6,700,000 for 'Farrah Fawcett Death'.

My whole point is that I cannot begin to compare death. I posted a RIP for Farrah, because I was particularly fond of her from the 70s, but was not so much a fan of Michael Jackson, though I did amire him for his success. I write my blog for a hobby, not to please my readers (however, I am SUPER greatful that you do bother to visit, and leave comments - you keep me motivated).


I hope this has cleared a couple of things up for 'Anonymous'.
