You need to learn to be polite. So I misunderstood you, big deal. You don't have to act like a jerk.
Oh, and there isn't much of a difference between contributing to one's death and bringing about one's own end. Not that it matters, since this thread is about Whitney Houston, and tcc has every right to say what he said about her, irrespective of whether other artists squandered their talent as well.
Thank you Amazon for standing up for me.

No problem. :D
"Nobody wants to die in indignity in a hotel room and have their body hauled out the service entrance"
To reframe what I was saying a bit : if every death is tragic, then which one is to be considered truly tragic?
It is sad, of course, but sadness can be a pretty deep well and one that I don't wish to get stuck in when you consider the number of bathroom related deaths in the world.
I think it's a pity, anyway.
Looks like another California Doctor will be headed to court. Now we just need to wait and see who it is.

So freaking what if I misread you? I made a mistake, so sue me. You're not in a position to jump down someone's throat for making a mistake, seeing as you are far from perfect.
Oh, and I never misquoted you. Don't even attempt to play that card as saying that someone brought about their own end is no different to saying that they contributed to their death (I would be interested in a situation where someone brought about their own end but didn't contribute to their death as that would be an extraordinary story).
"because YOU make a mistake it becomes "big deal","
No, YOU made it a big deal when you said 'you need to learn to read.' You acted like a complete jerk who doesn't seem to understand that people make mistakes. This isn't the first time you pounced on me because (in your mind) I made a mistake. You need to get over it.
You are not perfect, you make mistakes. Hell, you made mistakes on this own thread. So don't tell me that 'because YOU make a mistake it becomes "big deal" .' You could have simply corrected me. But no, you had to act like a horrible jerk.
"but when YOU mistakenly misread BOLIN and BOLAN you were quick to try and correct me..."
Yeh, I asked 'How did Duanne Allman and Bolan contribute to their deaths?'
Wow, what a horrible thing. Brenski, if you think that was me being quick to try and correct you, then you are being over sensitive. You do realize that this is a discussion site, and if I have a problem with something you said, I have every right to say so? If you don't like it, well, get over it.
"waytogo mr double standards"
First, wrong gender. Second, what double standards? Or are you not going to tell me like you didn't tell me what I got wrong in the HS thread (because I didn't get anything wrong)?
Either way, I don't particularly care. Life's too short to deal with people who are incapable of being polite.
"appears you were more than happy for people to think that i made a mistake but not so happy when your own mistake was pointed out"
No, I wasn't happy with you acting like a jerk.
Let's see what you could have said, instead of '"i never said "Bolan" - you need to learn to read - i typed "Bolin" as in..'
You could have written 'Actually I meant...'
Did it ever occur to you that you could have clarified whom you meant without being rude? It is entirely possible to point out that someone made a mistake without being either rude or triumphant. Or perhaps it isn't possible with you. Either way, get over it. I'm done.

If so, hopefully it won't turn into the circus that the Jackson doctor trial became.

I meant, for me!!!
"you shouldn't be telling me what to type..."
It was only a suggestion!
"because whatever i typed..you'd still misread it...."
You know that how? Unless you can read my mind, you probably shouldn't be saying things lie that. Either way, you didn't have to be rude. God, you're annoying!

This from the person who keeps responding. How hypocritical can you be?
"but you probably misheard what others said"
No, because in my house, people speak clearly and they aren't rude.
