I didn't ignore the word "everyone". You and I disagree about what belongs on this thread, that's all. What constitues a "notable death" is in the eye of the beholder. You and I behold it differently. We disagree, that's all.

I think all their deaths were both tragic and notable, regardless of the curriculum vitae of some of those who died.

I haven't "failed to comprehend" anything. Nor am I "distorting" anything. Nor am I being "dishonest". You were very explicit when you declared that this thread should, in your view, be about "mentioning the passing of people who had NOTABLE LIVES BEFORE THEY DIED." Your capitalization, not mine. It's still there. People can read it. You and I disagree about what "notable death" means, that's all.

Some notable people are good, admired, and loved... and some are not.

I think we can simply agree to disagree about what belongs and doesn't belong on this thread.

His anthology of poems and essays, Those Who From Afar Look Like Flies, might possibly provide insights into the topic at hand.

Andy, This is something else we agree on.

Still makes them notable people whether we agree or not.

Why not start a different thread called 'What deaths are notable?'
