Djaye, I never said he was an inspiration to me, and if you look closely i never actually said i like the guy. The fact of the matter is an Aussie icon is dead, and from whatever stance you look at it, its going to effect our country in more than one way. For animal conservation, he was the leading figure making it at least interesting, politically and economically, he was one of the most recogonised and linked faces with Australia, and one of the most common tourist spots is/was Australia zoo. He was massive around the world as he made average stuff interesting and amussing to watch.
I'm not saying that people have to sit there and cry about his death. If you loved him, show your respects (as most have done). If you don't, keep it to yourself. In all honesty, without a retarted reply from those immature members, if you died and there was people on this forum that didn't like you, would you like to be talked down?
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, and im not directing this at you Djaye, but to the dickless people who are passionate about showing disrespect (hence the grow a dick comment). I'm sorry about the 'offensive' comment, but in all seriousness, whats worse? Saying Rott in hell to a person who stood out for this country for a good cause, or telling people who can respect the family of a dead man to grow a male appendage?
