I'm really not one to get overly distressed at celebrity deaths, even when I am a genuine fan of the artist's work. I always find it sad, but this...this is somehow leagues worse than any others I can remember. I think for me, like so many others, I've grown up with his films. He's been in movies for as long as I can recall watching them. And there was always this sense that he was timeless, untouchable - much like Peter Pan. Watching Hook will never be the same for me, and probably most other fans. There's forever going to be this other much more mournful quality to Neverland. I already can't watch scenes from it without tearing up. I'll admit that I spent last night fairly upset about this. No, I didn't know the man, but the loss of such an amazing, compassionate and creative spirit - and especially in such a circumstance - is thoroughly heartbreaking. Realizing that those sparkling, laughing eyes hid so much pain is crushing.


Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning... Rest in peace, Robin. We already miss you, but you'll never be forgotten. Your many gifts to the world are treasures.

Killing yourself isn't an honorable way to die. Even the old orc knows that. But none the less, lets hope they let him in.:beermug:

Let him in? Why wouldn't they.. If they don't let in Robin then I guess none of us is safe. ;)

I will also have to say, what a shame, but really not a surprise. He was a great comedian and gave us a ton of laughs, but I hope his death can spread the word that depression and addiction is a serious thing.

I just heard this kid at my college say basically something along the lines of this, "Well Robin Williams is stupid. I can't believe he killed himself with all the plops he has and he's famous!" When you have depression and/or struggle with addiction, none of that matters (plus the news said he had money and health problems anyways). Depression doesn't care how much money you have, nor whether you're famous. I do not know Robin Williams, but I am sorry for his loss and that he lost his long battle. Maybe he has now found peace though.

That's what a lot of people don't understand. The old saying goes money can't buy happiness. It is kind of crazy that someone who has so much feels so unhappy, and yet you have people who have absolutely nothing who are happy beyond all measure. Personally, I can see exactly how that would work out. People think "oh he has money, how can you not be happy you would be able to do this and that...yada, yada, yada".

Think about Robin or any other popular actor/actress/musician for a minute. You go out in public, and people don't think about you just wanting to spend time with your family, to actually be normal a little bit. instead they want pictures, autographs, etc. Then you have paparazzi all the time butting into your personal and private life. Around the clock attention whether you want it or not.

Don't get me wrong, you know it has to have it's benefits (not waiting in line, getting a table though the restaurant is booked up, special treatment because of who you are). Back when i was a lot younger I thought how cool would that be, only when I got older did I realize how much it would suck.

Depression is no joke! I'm satisfied that at some point everyone has been depressed at one time or another, and I am not talking about manic depressed in which you need help. I have had days where I would just get depressed (for lack of a better word) and it sucks. Nothing makes you feel happy, and you are just there bummed out and don't know why. When I hit those seldom times I think afterward how sad it would be to feel like that almost all the time.

Robin, buddy, though I didn't know you personally I hope you have that peace you sought after. I sincerely hope you are happy now. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face at times when i needed it the most. It is sad that I wasn't able to return the favor.

I wanted to share this with you:
Robin Williams daughter, Zelda Williams (yes, Robin was a gamer and named his daughter after the princess), wrote an awesome blogpost on her father's passing. This particular paragraph made me laugh out loud. Humor is in the family...

It frustrates me that some people are asinine enough to talk trash to grieving family. I mean, with billions on the Earth, I know not everybody is going to like each other, but have we lost all grasp of when it is or isn't appropriate to voice that?

It's a minority of idiots, and a vocal minority at that. But you are right, though. Although I don't understand trolls, I at least can say something human about them. They're bullies, assholes, attention-seekers, or whatever you want to call them. But people who troll on the expense of grieving families are just sick in their heads. The same thing goes for people who troll on news articles about the holocaust or diseases.. It's disgusting.

People are horrible sometimes. Fortunately Zelda knows what's what. She's a smart young lady. All the kids are. Fortunately, none of them are all that young anymore. I think she's handled all of this with a great deal of class.

I seriously would like to grab these haters by their throats and squeeze the living daylight out of them until theirs no more oxygen left in their brains to grasp. These trolls should have their IP tracked down and publicly humiliated for what they did to poor Zelda. How on earth can anyone, a human, can do this to someone who just left their father to suicide? People who do this should not be treated like humans, and therefor should have no human rights.

We humans should help our fellow brothers and sisters during a crises, not hurt them.

There are always going to be negative people in this world, no matter what it is. How we chose to react against that negativity is what defines our strength of character. I chose to ignore those people and focus on the positive impact Robin Williams had on the world.
RIP Robin. You will be missed terribly to those who count. Which far outnumbers the scornful.

I am not saying we should actually 'choke' those people, and I am sure Raijin didn't mean it in the most literal way either. But it's easy to say we have to ignore it. People who are famous get this stuff on a daily basis, and they can't just act like it is not happening. Ignoring a bully on the playground doesn't work either. The bully needs to see that everyone pukes at his behavior - and so far that doesn't happen enough.

I wasn't really responding to what anyone was saying on here, just writing what I felt. Any sort of bullying behavior, no matter the situation, is not acceptable. My son has aspergers and has to face bullies every single day of his life. Now he can either react to them by lashing out, or choosing to let them deal with whatever problem they have with him on their own, and walking away from them. Maybe "Ignoring" was the wrong word to use, of course we should make a point of letting said bullies know that their behaviour is not going to slide. I was merely saying that I would rather let them be and not feed their hunger for that feeling of empowerment they must get from belittling others, by reacting to them in the way that they crave.

Ignoring these kind of behaviors over the internet doesn't resolve anything, especially considering the fact that people say the most hatred things over the internet because of such anonymously, and therefor avoid any consequences that can result by their inappropriate behaviors.

The person(s) who sent the suppose photos of Robins dead body to his daughter,Zelda, should be found through their IP address, and publicly humiliated. They should have to answer to their behaviors through mainstream media source. They should be arrested and convicted of harassment and cyber bulliness. Zelda was forced to terminate her social media accounts because some asshole decided to make things worst for this woman during a life crises.

I have Aspergers.. Got some plops for it myself. I hope he can solve it by walking away. For me personally, that never worked. Bullies have legs too, and mine just walked after me.

My other 1/2 says that a knee or an elbow does wonders. There was also the suggestion of planting large amounts of cocaine in their locker and tipping off the police... oh wait! That's how I got one of my bullies when I was in High School! Sorry... :)

BTW - my nephew Jake has Aspergers as well I can relate to where you're coming from. :)
