I'm *not* a fan of Yoko, and I don't condone everything she says or does.
but you guys are scraping the bottom.

You're fans of The Beatles? John Lennon?

Talking about the remains of John Lennon?

OMG.


I wasn't one of those posters, and maybe they won't appreciate me
putting words in their mouths, but I have three responses to this:

1. Those posts were indeed tasteless. However, it seemed to me that
the tastelessness in this instance was not a simple manifestation of
generalized dislike for Yoko, but something more specific and to the
point. Namely, the posters were commenting on what they perceived to be
a pattern of exceedingly tasteless actions by Yoko (certainly not as
tasteless as the invented ones in the posts, but real actions, not
imaginary ones, which is a pretty important distinction)... that is,
they were starting from Yoko's actual (as perceived by them)
tastelessness and just taking it a few steps further. So yes, they were
tasteless, but this is different from simply saying something vile about
someone you don't like.

2. As a fan of John Lennon, I'm aware that he was very fond of
extremely tasteless humor (at least in his early years).

3. If these are the most disgusting posts you've seen here, you must
not have been around all that long! A few years back, you would have
seen a lot of stuff here that makes these posts look positively G-rated.
Believe me.

Thanks for your throughtful post. However it seems Tom K is not
interested. He is really having a cow over this. He just started
another thread over the same stuff.
