A buddy made a crack about my grandmother the other day. She died of cancer. Did I make a big deal about it? No. Did it make me think about her and miss her for a awhile? Sure. But my friend didn't know and it really didn't matter. HE WAS MAKING A JOKE! Dead grandmother aside, it was funny. There was no need for him to feel bad about it. My uncle was a paramedic who died in the line of duty. Does that make all paramedic jokes or uncle jokes off limits? No. My wife has died on the operating table. Twice. But both times was brought back (srsly) and, probably, will not live to get really old with me. Does that mean I don't joke with her about her dying so I can hook up with some hot nanny I would hire to take care of the kids? No. SHE STILL HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR!
Jeb - if you sister died, that is sad. Sorry for your loss, but if you really think that lj was making a real crack about your actual sister, you have some serious growing up to do. My guess is that he didn't even know you had a sister.
I am not defending lj here. He is a bid boy and can obviously do that on his own. I just think think you need some perspective.
