Hi, I am Graham Thompson's son. Sadly Graham has passed away unexpectedly. I know he loved this forum and spent many hour's on here.
I've only joined to let all of you know.
Thank you.

I told you he was ill...

 

[kevindickinson]

Sorry to hear that. Learnt a lot from his posts in the past. My condolences.

Learnt a lot from his posts in the past.

While one is not supposed to speak ill of the dead, he also spouted a fair amount of nonsense and never acknowledged it even when caught out.

Perhaps this is one occasion where if you have nothing good to say you should say nothing.

Don't we all!

I'm just saying not to be too rose-tinted when it comes to measuring contributions. I hope I can say that when I make a mistake or back the wrong horse, I admit it and correct the error.

The point is he is not around to reply to your comments, you always did like to have the final word

I beg to differ

Here's a good opportunity to prove your assertion. A lapse of good taste is surely an error...

It's not something I universally agree with. Would you say, for example, that someone like a mass murderer should not be spoken badly of once they are dead, even though (almost) everyone despised them when they were alive? Of course not.

A lapse of good taste...

Who says it was?

 

[Black Hole]

Nor me. Call a spade a spade.

From the eulogies I see on the news about everyone who dies, be it politician or a car full of joyriders, it seems to me that only wonderful people die.
I'm sure there's a moral ambiguity there somewhere

I think you are confusing opinion with fact. I am entitled to hold and express an opinion, even if it differs from yours.

Just take the OP’s point of view for a second. He specifically took the trouble to join this forum to pass on the sad news and he’s been presented with criticism of his Dad and an ongoing disagreement, at what must already be a difficult time. If that was me I‘d be thinking ‘Why the hell did I bother? What on earth did he love so much about this place?’

In part these very disagreements over trivialities.

No, you're wrong there.

Just to clarify things, the OP of this thread has been a member of this forum since 2011, and posted a quote from a post on "My Humax Forum" by a member called "Son..Of.Graham."
