Quite possibly I'll antagonize one or two, but I feel the need to say something that is very close to my heart.

A partnership has ended, a relationship between two persons which was based upon love – a very private matter in my view. At some time two persons lost their love – that's truly sad but again a very private matter. I feel somehow uncomfortable to read a lot of comments relating to a matter which have nothing to do with anyone apart from k.d. and Jamie.

I know that one can say that they're public persons and I also know that every comment is meant as a kind support or to express one's own sadness. But I ponder if anyone of us would like to read those things or any discussion or guesswork as to one's own private matters. As for me I can say, I would not.

Well, now I'm ready to get my knuckles rapped – but it was somehow important to me to express my thoughts in this case.

Having given this some thought and because I started this topic, do you think it would now be appropriate for me to ask Kennedyflair to delete it?

Hmm, honestly I don't think that this thread should be deleted.

I agree with you, tofu, that it's only human to speculate and also with you, kdlangfan, that this forum is a place to share informations and opinions. But I disagree to the point that this forum is a save place, in my opinion it is definitely not because it is a public board.

As I said, I do know that no one here wants to harm k.d. and the intentions are only good ones. And I'm also aware of the fact that these things are part of being a public person. Nevertheless it somehow hurts me because apart from being a public person, k.d. also is a 'normal person' – she's only human after all ... with all vulnerability, fear and doubts everyone of us is or has. By putting it down to that point my question arose, if anyone else would like to read stuff which is, at the very least, stirring. And yes, kdlangfan, you're right: it's everyone's own decision to read those things. My intention to express my thoughts in this case was only thought-provoking. I know that one tends to be involved to one issue forgetting some other aspects at the same time. Also very human.

To come back to you, Abs, and to my first sentence: I don't think that you should ask Shelley to delete this thread. I must say that I am a staunch defender of freedom of expression. I think that it should be everyone's own decision to add something to this thread or to let it be. As well as I took the liberty of expressing my opinion everyone else should have the same right.
