all i did was repost what the news had

if you saw the news, you would see the same thing

Posting ONLY the picture trivialises the event. The news story wasn't a simple stick-man-esque drawing.

I attended the drag day on Saturday and took pics of the Aussie thunder so was as shocked as several other SAU members upon hearing this.

2rismo - I actually found Paul's drawing informative and a long way from trivialising the event. I missed the 2 news articles and was interested to see how the poor guy had come to grief. They were explanatory to me and in none of Paul's other posts did I see anything even indicating a trivialised picture or event. And all I could find on the news websites was plain text so this actually helped me. I am sure a simple PM would have done expressing your feelings to avoid degrading a condolences thread.

The only person I see being disrespectful in this thread is you, by swearing at Paul's post. You also post a "lol" in the thread where people are offering condolences.

Would be very interested to hear you reply.

i agree with Alan, i was interested to see where it happened and havent seen any news reports on it
