What was the site where the guy found out he was dying, and started blogging about it?
I think he was on QBN, and was friends with some of you guys.

something about the way you asked that question makes me wonder if you are frosty by name, frosty by nature? It just sounded so blasé but that situation is just so gut wrenchingly poignant that it seems to me it deserves a little more respect.

rubbed me the wrong way too, i'm sure he didn't mean anything by it though, but it did come off very crass.
It's our internet social interaction i guess, very detached and cold.

The post does sound matter of fact - but over-sentimentalising something that you have no direct experience of isn't a positive thing imo.

His name is Patrick O'Brien.
He started the Patrick O'Brien Foundation to raise awareness & money for ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) research from which he is suffering.
His site is http://www.patrickobrienfoundati…_niko, _me_, duckofrubber & amicus can fuck off.
Judging what another remembered without posting the important information is selfish and very "QBN" of all of you.- relax don't get your panties in a knot, nobody's judging him, just stating how his post came across._niko
- promptly check yourself then fuck offrealist
- who the fuck are you? QBN posting police? good job thanks for straightening everything out._niko
- you're completely right about posting without the important info, but his question was answered in the first post._niko
- and you don't have to be a complete dick about it,_niko
- Jeez, dude.duckofrubber
- lol u say he's trying to be "post police" and you did the exact same thing. :)sofakingbanned

you can't honestly be comparing patrick being sick to the fucking holocaust.
- that's more fucked up (to the jews) than anything else said in this thread so farscarabin
- yup holocaust happened in olden times, patrick's illness is very recent and ongoing.robotron3k

My uncle (Wally Hilgenberg) also died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in 2008. there are many creditable organizations to help the research and contribute to the awareness. Patrick O'Brien Foundation is not one of them. in fact the organization contributes nothing ALS. donations go to New York Foundation for the Arts
so realist...follow your own advice...

I think we are all "frosty" these days. The internet has desensitized us.
