bad idea - don't do it Stephen

In-reply-to Skywise Memorial


It's easy to say, "it's just a name for one eatery." But where do we draw the line? For all the thousands of players, there have been many who have died. Who will decide who gets a memorial and who doesn't? Shall I start a petition for a friend who died this past week? Will she also get an eatery named after her? What of the person that may die next week? Where DO we draw the line?

This is a bad precedent to set, and if Skywise gets a memorial, then I can rightly ask for memorials for the others as well.

If he is your friend remember him in your heart, not in the form of some building or cafe. Pay tribute to him in other ways. As for me, my recent loss will be remembered with all the good times we shared.

So go ahead and flame, but I think it's a bad idea.
