Doesn’t really matter, I suppose. Mason is still dead.

This thread is for the announcement of deaths, nothing more. I don’t see brewer wishing well.

My bad. Rip means Rest In Peace in my vernacular and it is usually a form of hope your journey is a peaceful. Seeing as u r atheist it’s no surprise that it’s just a term for recently dead people as u generally don’t believe in an afterlife. I would have expected a more clinical name like “recently departed” or “died today” but I’m just interpreting wrongly as in loving memory due to my bias
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Rest in Pieces

Rest in Peace...

People generally understand it's a thread for death announcements. You've been a little touchy lately...you okay?

The title of the thread kind of implies the wishing well of the dead we post about.

Why do you think I titled a similar thread Who's Dead Now on another forum.

If that's the intent then I'll stick to it, but it seems silly.

From my point of view, everyone rests in peace whether they deserve it or not.
