So I come into this news after a few days away after receiving a mass email on the order or War and Peace.

Said author has gone to a lot of trouble to mine addresses to get their point across.

I offer my sincere condolences to his family. This news troubles me on a few levels.

Rest in peace dear soul, friend to all here.

Let be, Let be.

I am very sorry to learn of the vituperative, personal attacks into which discourse on this sensitive and deeply felt issue has devolved. I have had my impudent and facetious moods on these boards, but I have never sought to willfully hurt another's feelings (and I apologize to anyone if that has been the case), and it pains me to read of such efforts. I feel that we at BetterMost have become a family, coalesced around love for one timeless, beautiful story, and I was in awe of how we were fostering one another's personal growth, first on IMDb, and then here. I would hate to see us lose this precious, delicate gift that has been given to us, and which we give to ourselves and each other.

Victoria, my heart goes out to you. You are a beautiful and caring human being. I condole with you in the pain you are dealing with, on so many levels.

To address the issue of the elephant in the living room, the issue which no one seems willing to state out loud, I will say only this. If my words are deemed insensitive or inappropriate, moderators may delete or amend with no ill will from me. But it is this--phantoms, if and when they come into play, can impinge upon our hearts and lives as powerfully as a flesh-and-blood person. We are, after all, here ultimately out of love and abiding concern for two phantoms. Their names are Ennis and Jack.

Peace to all, let's keep the love alive...
Scott

What had happened???!!!  How can this happen after we thought he is recovering...  I don't know what to say :'( :'( :'( 

I am so sorry to hear this news.  I have been on vacation and have not checked the broad until today.  Chris, I will miss you terribly even through we have not official met face to face.  I felt that I have known you for a long time. 

Rest in peace my friend.  I will always remember you ...

Jenny  :'(

To everyone in CT who have shared their thoughts about Chris, I thank you, and I am certain the family appreciates these kind wishes and regards at this difficult time.

I am aware that a bunch of people have received unsolicited e-mail about this matter as well as replies to that unsolicited e-mail.  I am disappointed in the tone of the messages, the language in some of them, and most importantly the fact that these were sent to people who I suspect have no interest in debating the subject at hand.

These e-mail addresses were not released by anyone here - apparently they were collected by the originator of some of the messages over time here.  Your private contact information remains entirely private.  If your account profile is set to display your e-mail address, that information can be had by any registered user here.  You can change that setting by clicking the Profile button.

Because of the concerns raised by a number of members about this situation, I feel it is appropriate to lock this thread and move us forward. On the matter of those e-mails: It is very easy for us to fall into the trap of intrigue and worrying about other people instead of growing ourselves as individuals and help keep this community moving forward with positive energy.  We need to worry more about ourselves than the affairs of others, and I remind everyone that personal attacks are never permitted here.

I appreciate your understanding, and this thread and its good wishes will remain here for those who wish to revisit it in the future.  If I had a mailing address for Chris' family for cards and notes of condolence, I would share it with you, but that isn't available to me at this time.  I'll edit the thread if conditions change.

Thank you Chris,
For being a friend when I needed it. For bringing fun into my life when I was fumbling around in a state of confusion, contemplation, depression, introspection, and hope.

I will never , ever, forget the nights on IMDB on the "Walter" board, typing with  Mandy, Vic, Brandon, and others...Laughing, bitching, flirting (mostly one-sided of course!) and just generally havin' a ball. :-)

You were a loyal pal, a fiery defender, and a general smartass. And I will miss you very much.

I wish your son peace, comfort, and all the blessings he deserves.

Paul
