While I will forever decline to disrespect death, Trollheart's "worldview" is not the only valid one, and his assertion that it is offends me a little bit.
It's okay not to be sad, let alone worked up, about the passing of an internet acquaintance. Feel what you actually feel.

Just because someone is behind a computer and expressing themselves through writing doesn't mean they're a stranger. Sure, they may be different face to face as it's a totally different interface but you get the basis of their personality, no matter how they express it.
