Thanks due to a wild character : Comments

By Barry Cohen, published 6/9/2006

Steve Irwin was our best-known export but he played with fire one too many times and confused the environmental cause.

Oz-girl: there is help for an affliction like yours, you know. There is no need to go about on the psychic pain that you are obviously suffering.

Why, do you want to share some of yours, oz-girl? No thanks, I prefer fresh air myself, and yours don't seem to be beneficial anyway. Perhaps consult your GP.

yes and yes to barry cohen re steve irwin.
i found him to be so grating i could not watch him, in fact one of my mental health contacts thought he was suffering from bi polar disorder
some friends recently returned from overseas used to "cringe" when he came on TV in USA and UK. matron.

Pk...Id be happy to share some of my mind altering drugs with you if I thought it could in any way make up for your lack of compassion for poor Steve .

A personality transplant would not go astray..but wait! theres more.. the seeds of what may constitute a sense of humour..

Theres hope for you yet.

Oz-girl, perhaps I would have been happy to keep trading insults with you, but I'm bored with that. Picking up on your 'show more respect for Steve' theme, I went back and re-read my September 8 post above to see what you thought was disrespectful. Blowed if I could find anything. The post was a comment on the reaction to Steve's death. A lot of it is near-hysterical, including yours, I might say. There was nothing disrespectful from me in this thread.

I do have views on Steve's TV shows that I expressed on other threads. I still hold them. As I have carefully explained, you don't change your views about public figures if they die. You don't have to withold your opinion on them on opinion sites either.

Have you noticed the difference in the reactions to the deaths of Irwin and Brock - very different. Ask yourself what that tells you.

You obviously loved Steve, and I can respect that. What I don't respect is you rushing around each of the several threads about him on OLO getting very stroppy with anyone who doesn't share your view. Why should you care? You are not his official mourner. Give it a rest. You're looking a bit foolish. You don't like what you see as disrespect, then stop reacting to it, because it just produces more.
