just saw from my parents phone that Rush Limbaugh died from cancer. I listened to him on my way home from work or travelling to visit family. He is controversial but I did agree with some of his ideas or thoughts but not all of them.

MODERATOR EDIT TO INCLUDE FOR NEW ARRIVALS: A general reminder that you can criticize Rush Limbaugh's actions and beliefs without gloating over his death. Take it to your social media if you want to go dancing on graves.

[Sundiata]

He and his family will be in my prayers.

EDIT: Please find it in your heart to say something nice about the man even if you find his views repulsive.

[The Holy Therns]

I was wondering when that'd happen.

[Dresderstan]

I didn't even realize he had lung cancer, was he a smoker, it'd probably explain his hoarse voice.

[Cordel One]

Would moderation do anything if people were happy about this

Yeah, he was a heavy cigar smoker.

I didn't like Rush Limbaugh, he said and did a lot of horrible things. However, my thoughts are with his family and I will not relish in his death.

They're usually pretty strict on the "no gloating" thing.
Which is why I'll exit the thread now.

[Loeje]

I'll pray for him and for his family.

Not sure I'm really going to mourn the passing of a dude who had a segment called "AIDS update" set to music where he mocked dying gay people.

No one is asking you to mourn him, just to simply not relish in his death. I'm not mourning him for instance, though I hope his family is able to properly grieve for him.

If the man wasn't respectful in life; why should we respect him in death?

I figure this fake Twain quote is appropriate:

I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.

[Senkaku]

Hopefully it's open casket, just so we can all double check.

[Thermodolia]

I’m sorry for his family’s loss. And that’s all I’m going to say.

[Fedel]

The ego and narcissism in this thread is insane. RIP to the man. Hope his family and loved ones are getting through it.

[Nilokeras]

Turns out smoking can kill you after all.

But he relished in the deaths of others. Thousands. He enjoyed people suffering and dying.
But you are right. Let us not lower ourselves to his level.

Because if you're only ever moral to people you like and agree with you aren't really being moral.

Yeah the last part is what is important. It was wrong for him to do it and it remains wrong even in regards to him.

Respectfully disagree. When the universe grants us sublime cosmic irony like Limbaugh dying of smoking induced lung cancer, it would be impious of us to not take a quiet moment to contemplate it.

I have no sympathy for Rush Limbaugh of all people, but I'm going to be careful when posting in this topic.

Yes.

I would recommend not trying to test us to see what the outcome might be.

Aren't there some comments on here already that are teetering the edge?

There's a lot of tap-dancing on the line, but people so far seem to be aware of the need not to cross over said line. I would recommend that anyone who has concerns post a Moderation report.

My post was intended as a pre-emptive 'we're watching'; not as a definitive ruling.

But it's worth remembering that there are individuals who participate in NSG who supported Mr Limbaugh's perspective, and that any attempted gloating over Mr Limbaugh's death might therefore constitute trolling.

[The Notorious Mad Jack]

Good.
