--- Quote from: THE WINGS on April 12, 2008, 09:00:54 am ---My apologies for not posting for a while.  I would just like to weigh in on the fact that Jake hasn't, at least so far made any comment regarding Heath's death.  My own humble opinion is that he is "damned if he does, and damned if if he doesn't".  He is dealing with his grief in his own way, and I'm sure he will have some appropriate comment, IN HIS OWN TIME.  I can just see the media trying to make more of any comment he makes than is necessary. Hence the reason for his apparent reticence, at the present time.   He will, I'm sure reveal his true feelings in his own dignified way, at an APPROPRIATE TIME.  I only wish him and Reese all the best, as they try to have some semblance of a "nornal life".  I can't say any more.

I'm right behind you, Jake.

I'm afraid the 'appropriate time' has come and gone.  Also, when a friend and colleague dies should one even be concerned about how the media  deal with your tribute or expression of grief?  I think Jake has made a horrible mistake and it has lost him many fans.  I can't imagine what he could say at this point that would not make him look disingenuous and unfeeling.

MilAn:
I agree with oilgun that the appropriate time for a tribute has passed. I don't think it cost him fans though, but some Brokies are sure disappointed. There is no other choice than to accept it and move on.

RouxB:
Oh, it has certainly caused him some fans. The poop storm over his silence has raged far and wide and done some ugly damage in different fan communities. I don't agree with his choice but support his right to choose his own path. My feelings about him haven't changed because of his silence but they have definitely changed.

Well, I look at it a little differently.  Those who are his fans do not turn against him just because of Heath, there are other incidents prior to this that affected their feelings of Jake, Heath's death is only an additional factor; but even so, I don't think there are too many of them.

I agree, fans who were his fans before BBM really don't think about the lack of tribute too much really. Like i said it's some Brokies who are disappoined, but i don't think at all it cost him fans. I visit a few well known blogs and everytime a picture of Jake is posted mostly very positve comments are written. Maybe the people who write "it cost him fans" visit mainly BBM centered sites and of course there will be some disappointed fans (I admit i'm a bit disappointed), but that doesn't mean we stopped being fans.
