I haven’t always seen eye to eye with Colibri, but Mr Shine left him with no choice. ---

> [@Grrr](#): > > Having a crush on somebody is “caring” about them to the degree we need to give them a safe space them to “mourn”. :rolleyes: People mourn celebrities they have never met. Mourning is often irrational. Poking people while they are mourning is tacky and jerkish regardless of the “merit” of why they are in mourning. > [@Atamasama](#): > > This is why it’s disgusting to use a pejorative term like “safe space” to describe abstinence from needling a person about the viability of their grief, when that is grief over someone they cared about who passed away. So what if you think they had a shallow reason to care about that person? Eh, I think this is a good example of why “safe spaces” are a good thing, and the phrase shouldn’t be treated as a perjorative. ---

> [@Grrr](#): > > Having a crush on somebody is “caring” about them to the degree we need to give them a safe space them to “mourn”. :rolleyes: Seriously? Of course you care about someone you have a crush on, especially someone you know, in your social circle, and of course you mourn their death. No scare quotes needed. ---

> [@Mr\_Shine](#): > > There’s one mod in particular who is so systematically clueless I don’t know how he ties his shoes in the morning. I think everybody knows to who I refer. Most of the other mods do stupid shit like the one that caused this thread on a regular basis. 20 or so posts since the above and I’m the first to point out that it’s “to whom”? Way to miss the point, people! Standards really are slipping around here. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/bizarre-warning-issued/838073.md?page=4)
