now... with that said

if you take away the fact that he is a famous musician and instead he was just James W. buffet, Insurance salesman that lives next door to me, i hate to think of the number of times the sheriff's office would have been called to settle our disputes, and in all honesty, one of us probably would have strangled the other by now.

Do you think it's asking too much If you at least pretend you have some class and not speak Ill of the recently deceased ? I didn't start this thread so you could air your grievances or Ill will.


You know the old saying, If you can't say something nice.......

Relax... the comment is made in jest, you know - as in the pesky neighbor you would pull out of a burning home but you just cant get along with him otherwise?

I imagine that if Jimmy Buffet were just the guy that lived next door - that is the kind of neighbors we would be with one another - thats all .

Regardless of how you explain it, I found the comments crass and tasteless and I'm sure deep down, you know that too be true. The reality is, you're better than that. I'm sure Jimmy had his faults, like we all do. Speaking Ill of the deceased isn't how we do things in Subsim and it's just wrong.

I will let it go at that and not belabor the issue.

Also fair enough and Nancy Pelosi, George Santos and any other political cartoon-ish character probably deserves anything and everything thrown their way. I'm good with that. As a good American, I have a sense of humor and can take a joke. I assume many of us are the same way and like a good joke as we elect so many " jokes " into public office.

Jimmy Buffet was anti-education and a dope smoker.
