That's personally how I can simplify it like that, I understand that others can't, but I can. The thread in Music dedicated to her musical contributions is for discussing her music, IMO, this is for discussing her death and her status as a celebrity addict because the working assumption seems to be that her death was drink/drugs related.
She is not a person I know and love on a personal level either. You don't exactly need to know and love her to sympathise with the fact that a tortured soul lay beneath the media personality. And like I said that is who I am siding and sympathising with. It's not that hard. She wasn't just a caricature drug addict for goodness sake so saying 'well it's okay for me to discuss her on those terms' to me is ultra frivilous.

I wish I wasn't drunk because I have the feeling I could tear these posts apart a lot better. I'll come back in the morning.
