I didn't know the two decreased, and therefore don't have much attachment to their tragic end; but I don't agree with being so blunt as Phil ceremoniously was throughout the entire thread either

Was it disrespectful to speak of two young lives lost as objectively and blatantly possible, knowing there are people grieving in the community (re: RS)? Yes, probably. But then again it doesn't sound like the two were stellar examples of good ethics and responsibility either.

If, hypothetically, this wasn't RS and was just a news site with comments enabled, and you saw "disrespectful" remarks, would you feel the same way? I write disrespectful because again, while to you it may seem so to others it may be completely warranted.

I, for one, would like this thread locked now because it's no longer about the accident that occurred, and has turned into a pissing contest between individuals who are clashing needlessly and telling people who don't agree they're wrong, when clearly neither side is right/wrong.

If they were your friends, mourn their deaths without trying to blindly defend their collective history, and accept the fact that they may have made mistakes that are going to be criticized.

If they weren't your friends, you're more than entitled to feel a certain way about their actions that lead to their deaths, but understand that there are ways to convey your thoughts and opinions without offending people needlessly and coming off as a brute asshole.
You articulated that so well I would thank you twice if I could, but at the same time I don't want to see this thread closed because the pissing contest has become such an invaluable source of entertainment
