Online Etiquette when is comes to fatalities/accidents

There is no need for us to say anything about others. There is no need for you or for me to regard other's actions in our thoughts one way or another. The worst thing we can do is to force people to agree with us. I mean that we shouldn't try to impose our will when people don't behave the way we want them to. The worst thing one can do is to confront human beings bluntly. A warrior proceeds strategically. If one wants to stop our fellow men one must always be outside the circle that presses them. That way one can always direct the pressure.

To help you lose self-importance talk to little plants. It doesn't matter what you say to a plant, what's important is the feeling of liking it, and treating it as an equal.

Look at me, I have no doubts or remorse. Everything I do is my decision and my responsibility. The simplest thing I do, to take you for a walk in the desert for instance, may very well mean my death. Death is stalking me. Therefore, I have no room for doubts or remorse. If I have to die as a result of taking you for a walk, then I must die.

So the guy who shot Osama should have followed protocol and not written a dreary book ?

"Death... It Happens"

In this case, however, there weren't any very obvious errors.

Particularly because in this forum you all LOVE to post about BASE/skydiving injuries and fatalities.

MAYBE next time you will think about what your type about someone's loved one.

She died of exposure. She was doing a route and got hit by a full winter storm. I recall she also possibly fell down a steep slope at some point, too.

and typically amount to little more than extremely bad luck.

But in reality, garden-variety, backcountry deaths are statistically rare flukes,

singling out some unfortunate victim..not so good.

Let the noobs read ANAM if they want the basics covered.

Sorry, BUT there is no such this as "bad luck".

But all to often it's the given excuse when someone uses bad judgement.

Control of objective hazards (which include random, unlikely events) is by definition impossible.

Anyone who has pushed things a bit at times, and is honest, knows that luck plays a key role.

Friends and relatives whine about online discussions of deaths because they are unable to actually control death, and are venting their frustration. Sort of shoot the messenger. IMO they should stay off the internet, or HTFU.
