The Ben Coleman situation

I rarely start threads, but this will be my second today and second in a week or two so I decided that's not too much.

I just felt extremely sad hearing what's going on with him, I never spoke to him in a thread ,back and forth, I don't think. What got me the most was , thnking back to him passionately debating over Lsu football, knowing good and well he had little, if any chance of seeing them this upcoming season.

I just wanted to make a statement and nobody has to listen or follow this up with anything.

his situation opened my eyes and hopefully yours ,to how much we take for granted, health being number one.it opened my eyes to how short life is.

I just thought maybe we, as a group could make a conscious effort to treat each other with a little more respect and love. If we don't like each other then maybe it's best, for the whole world not to know about it.
The main thing is, the kys statement, I mean it's used so much that it's got it's own abbreviation. I don't understand why thats acceptable here, but I've never heard someone say this to another in person and even on other message boards its rare.

In conclusion, I thought maybe in Ben's honor we could just be a little more respectful, patient, and maybe even get rid of the kys slogan forever.
