[HPFGU-OTChatter] ADMIN: The Death of the Pope

[Kaesa Aurelia]

As a stereotypically cynical teen, agnostic Jew, and general
all-around secular person who often gets very irritated with the
general Christian-centricness of American culture, I have *absolutely
no problem* with discussion of the Pope's death.  Now, not being a
very experienced HPFGU member, I am not entirely sure where previous
Admin decisions on this subject lie, but I don't think this topic is
likely to start a flamewar - I mean, how many people would seriously
get angry with posters for mourning a religious leader's death?  It'd
be one thing if someone on the main list started sending tearful
emails, but this is where everyone sort of unwinds and talks about
silly things.  I think that if people are upset about it (or maybe
okay with it because he's "gone to a better place") it'd make sense to
post to the OT list.  It just seems kind of silly to cut off
conversation so quickly about something so harmless.

Personally, if the Pope posts start getting to me so much that I feel
the urge to fly into a murderous rage, I'll just delete them.  I doubt
anything like that will happen, though.

~Kaesa, who *does* hope he's gone to a better place, because better
places are, well, nicer than the alternatives.
