I understand the principle of it. I just don't think throwing stones at other people and hurting them by calling them immoral is going help either. Can you understand that, in principle?Therein lies the problem. I don't agree. You're assuming here that you know them and what they feel too. Hey, some of the rps were outrageous. Some have bad writing. But here we go again, lumping it all together.

So the issue here is sex and not the fact that its about real people? Oh okay because I thought the 'distasteful' part of RPS was that they people were real, but I now see we are discussing something else entirely. So sex is perverse? Is it more acceptable if its a man and a woman having sexual relations in RPF?
Everyone deals with grief in their own way, some want to cry, some want to talk, some want to listen to music, some want to tell jokes ... and some want to write. So if it helps ease someones pain by writing a story about Heath, then so be it.Everyone needs to show a little more tolerence..... just my 2 pennies worth. Susie
I already made it clear that I could not know but could only base it upon my own feelings if someone wrote that about me. I don't know Michelle, but I think I can safely assume that she would be upset if Heath had an affair with Jake while they were living together, so a fictional story about it would be equally upsetting. It is not an unwarranted assumption, but rather quite a reasonable one. But this begs the question: it does not matter whether or not they are upset - it matters whether they have given permission to be written about. And they have not. Without permission it is not okay, legally or ethically.
I had to smile at this statement .... you have no less than 65 public threads here at Bettermost, all entirely devoted to grieving the death of Heath, so why should these writers be any less entitled to grieve publically?Incidentally, I'm not a fan of RPS stories, but each to his/her own.Susie
