While I doubt many here really know the person in question personally (having read about him doesn't qualify), I'm sorry if you do (for both his illness and having offended you), and it's not as if I'm devoid of emotions.

I just don't think this is the forum to discuss such topics/stories, and I don't get emotionally attached to every bad news story that comes around. If I did, I'd be a very depressed person.

Regardless, we're getting way off track from the discussion now.
