In this thread, you handled a sensitive matter with a high degree of compassion and professionalism. Well done.
Well done indeed.
I don’t know what to say about some of the insensitive responses to drjam. Un-friggin-believable.
Oh, great. The Usual Suspects are at it again. 
I’d call this more like a French-kiss than a pot shot though.
Perhaps we should exorcise their ghosts?
I’ve found treadmills and cattle prods work best for…
Oh, wait…you said exorcise. Sorry. Carry on.

Nope, works for that, too!
Yeah it was handled all right but if this deserves praise then we’ve got some pretty low expectations around here.
Yeah, but we all know someone would come in here to take a pot shot, right?
Well, thanks very much, all. Not sure what to say, but it’s truly appreciated.
fortunately, we do!
Is there a boneyard or something like that around here? Are topics ever deleted? I’d say that one would be a good candidate.
Meh. Every single topic that we complain about is connected to actual people, with actual mothers, fathers, friends, etc… Hiding them because it turns out that meatspace critters might find our cyber bitching is a rather poor idea.
It’s not because they might find someone’s bitching. It’s because reading something like that can reopen very old wounds over the death of a child, completely fucking unnecessarily.
Come on, the OP is from 2002.
And about the only way they’ll find them is if they are specifically looking for them.
Also, be careful with that word in ATMB.
What, death?
I think drjam lost his brother, not his child, just for accuracy’s sake.
