Oh THAT makes up for it. I wasted half the freakin' morning feeling like utter

<snipping a sick, cruel and disgusting attempt at a *joke*>
Oh yeah, saying it was a joke makes up for the way my heart was pounding, the
way I frantically searched for confirmation, the way I caused about 4 other
people to panic by asking if they had any news, the unshed tears in my eyes as
I tried to convince myself it did not happen.
I am sure if any of his family frequented ATH, they would sure be relieved to
hear it was a joke.
I just recently had a death in my family and a joke like this is NOT funny
under any circumstances. Now before someone comes back and posts "He was an
actor, you don't know him, get a grip" let me explain a few things.
Yes, he is an actor and yes, I do not know him personally. I have met him and
spoken to him though. I feel like I know him. He is a warm, funny and
interesting man. I feel a connection to him. I felt such a kick in my stomach
when I read that cruel post. I felt much the same when Princess Di was killed.
I think I speak for many when I say we feel like Peter is part of our lives in
a small part.
What a sick individual!!

Alright, I accept your apology. (it did make my heart race terribly
tho!) One more thing before I go... you should never joke about
someone dying in real life. Methos maybe, but not Peter. I only hope
he hasn't been jinxed now.

This was a joke from an individual has since apologized (not that I have
fogiven him). This post unfortunately, has probably hit the internet world
with a storm and is probably getting back to Mr. Wingfield at this very moment.
My heart raced when I read this and I thought about it and said to myself "but
Pete's in Vancouver". So, fear not...it seems that the rumor has been dispelled
and the poster,hopefully, has learned a hard lesson about the power of

I changed the Subject line slightly so that any one else just coming to the

It's going to take some time for some among this group to forgive you, but
they'll come around . . . eventually (I hope). They will consider Duncan's
compassion and his capicity for forgiveness, but you must understand, it takes
TIME to calm down, especially from a bad shock. I suggest you not post anymore
on this for the time being - you got some nice folks very, very mad. Perhaps a
personal "I'm sorry" sent to each member expressing alarm might be in order.

Man, all of this trolling is getting ridiculous. What rerun hell will do to
some people, I guess.
Yes, I believe that PW is currently (hopefully) in Vancouver filming a
couple of guest spots on TV shows, which is why I didn't believe this in the
first place.
One of the reasons I have always hated practical jokes is because they can
become mean-spirited very quickly. They are basically meant to make the
butt of the joke look foolish. So, Marcus, good luck trying to find some
forgiveness on the NG. You won't be getting any from me.

I can't even imagine the thought process that made that seem like "a good
practical joke". Unless you're a 14-year-old boy. Are you a 14-year-old
boy? A precocious 12-year-old boy? A retarded 16-year-old boy? Outside
those parameters, it seems unlikely...

Hilary, I always regarded Duncan as having an awesome capacity for revenge.
<g> I like that about him. I don't need or want a personal apology from
vinc...@ix.netcom.com. I already went out and looked him up on Dejanews.
THAT was pretty entertaining. I especially liked the ... well, never mind.
Anyone who wants to can go look him up, too. Just as a practical joke.

Don't even joke about this!
I think PW is in Vancouver filming The Sentinel, so he should be safe?
Didn't *Simon Pemberton* (PW's character) die in a car crash on the Archers?
Maybe a year ago today or something?

first a troll is someone who says something to cause people to react.
you did that. BAD joke. This is circulating well beyond what you may
have intended. It hurt people's feelings and is floating around the
globe. I hope that no one called his family. Your guilt would be much
deeper at that point. I suggest you put a deferment/delay on ongoing
posts. Something like 12 hours. Sometimes I wish I did, my sense of
humor is a little too subtle or just plain lost in cyberspace. In the
meantime
grovel a lot. This ng is full of very caring, and very intelligent
individuals. Most will not retaliate. However, I would grovel a great
deal and be prepared for some flambe humble pie at this point. Take it
as penance if it comes, oh and grovel some more. Eventually, people
will forgive (I hope) you for the "joke", just learn from it. I am
sending a fire extinquisher in cyber space for you, you may need it.
ps. And to the rest of ng. Let's forgive after an appropriate period of
time. This may be the worst troll post yet. Most trolls don't apologize
in any form. But perhaps he is sincere,
let's wait and not roast his chestnuts, singe maybe. :)

I find this statement perplexing. Why are we drawing on a fictional

moral stature? These people who do, where were they before they had
Highlander to guide them? What are they going to do after this season?

You are going to have do more than say sorry in this perfunctary way.
As it happens two days ago a good friend of mine died. She was only 51.
Two years ago my Grandfather, Mother and Grandmother died. My cat died.
Last year my best friend's mother died, my other friend's father died,
another friend's husband died. Two of my neighbours died.
All of the people above (apart from the first listed) died when I was on
vacation or had gone away for the weekend to a convention. Yesterday I was
away at a High School Reunion. It had gotten so that I began to fear any
kind of travel. To have found that PW - who I HAVE met, and DO know
(slightly) had died while I travelled again, would rather have set the seal
on any further attempts at travel.
You are very, very lucky that the only contact I am likely to have with you
is by e-mail or newsgroup. This is not to be taken as a threat. I do not
make threats. (I make promises - and I always keep my promises)

I think we can all learn something about humour and joking here.
The case in point is cruel; it is not, however a joke.
Humour, I believe, is intended to inform, instruct, and lighten one's
life. This instance did nothing like this.
Whenever one takes an oppportunity to put someone else down, hurt them,
or make them (from one's own perspective) look silly, one is feeding an
internal need, I think. I try to practice what I "preach" here. That
is, I examine *why* I might want to take such an opportunity and learn
what is hurting me that I would want to hurt others.
Okay, I was at church today....and I'm the 5th generation decendant of
preachers....I promise *not* to get on a soap box too often!

Poor baby... all these people died on you...boo hoo hoo hoo hoo! People
die every day. And it is not caused by YOU leaving home. (Well, not
unless you were in the car that caused the accident in which the person
died..)
LIGHTEN UP!!!!!!
The thing that is so hilarious is watching how so many of you in this
self-proclaimed "nicest newsgroup on the 'Net" are taking this sooooo
seriously and being so outrageously indignant to this guy. Most of y'all

What bothered me most about this whole thing was this comes shrtly after a

friday so it is still a bit hard to accept since she was only 38 and left

It is not wise to post in a newsgroup where you are not aware of the dynamics.
He may have apologized but that far from sets things right.
Read the FAQ's before you post. It was unbelievable rude, obnoxious and cruel
to post that. Last time I checked, those adjectives sure discribe bad manners
to me.
Posting and pointing fingers is bad manners. This is a generic comment as are
all my posts :) I send my ill mannered things privately.

To say someone died or was killed is NO JOKE AT ALL. Get a life you little son
of a bitch. I'm sorry, but death is nothing to make jokes about or play around
with. How would you feel if someone told you that one of your parents or a
sibling died in a car crash and then just say "Hey man, I was joking." I don't
think that you'd find that quite as amusing as what you tried to pull here.
Not just because it's Peter, but to make a statement like that shows your lack
of respect for people as well as your lack of upbringing. I'll say it once
again -- GET A LIFE.
And now, a word from our sponsors. . . .

I never followed the Archers too regularly but didn't Simon end up in jail? And
that's how they explained replacing Peter with another actor? IIRC, Peter was
a bit bummed that Simon didn't

Did I say so? I said I felt like I was getting to be *jinxed*. Having lost
so many in such a short time, I'm getting *punch drunk* - I really do NOT
need to lose another friend, even if he is someone I've only met once and
for a few hours.
>LIGHTEN UP!!!!!!
>
No.
Tell you what. I'll post about how your friend died yesterday. You can
panic, call his mother, and all his other friends, to check if it is true.
His mother hasn't heard from him for a few days, so she starts to panic.
He's not available on line, and isn't answering his phone, so she panics
more. Eventually she works herself into such a state she ends up in
hospital herself.
Then I say "hey, April Fool - sorry if I got you a bit upset"
How funny is that? You gonna forgive me in one moment?
Peter Wingfield is an actor - yes. He is also a person. He has parents, he
has friends, he has a wife.
I'll give you a "What If?" scenario. We know that journalists use the 'net
for research. Suppose someone from one of the *gutter press* (or even the
more respectable papers) happened to be lurking here? he's got a scoop, he
thinks, and immediately starts calling PW's family and friends to hear their
reactions. PW is in Vancouver. Perhaps he doesn't phone home every day.
He may not even be near a phone, depending on where they are filming. So
they have journalists camped on their doorsteps telling them that Peter is
dead.
Bet they would LOVE the joke. (to my knowledge this has not happened - but
it could have so easily) (I was getting phone calls from half a world away
to see if *I* knew anything, and having been out of touch myself for a
couple of days, I must admit my heart stopped for a second or two)
And btw, I cried all the way home after those calls, just *thinking* it
*might* be true - because each death brings the last one (and the first one)
right back to mind. Even if you weren't close to the person, it reminds you
of the one you WERE close to.

No, it shows that WE CARE about people. We would TRULY mourn Peter were he
to be gone. We would mourn for a talented actor gone, a fine young man cut
down in his prime, for his family and friends who had lost him, for all our
own losses of recent years that this would remind us of.
Not funny, JSP, not funny at all - and just for your information a newspaper
once printed an obituary of someone who was not dead. Person then sued the
paper for HUGE damages because of the pain and distress caused to his
family.
Marcus's best course of action just now would be to lie VERY quiet. He does
have a history of less than inspiring posts on this and other ngs (which a
quick search on Deja News with his e-mail address will get you) (and a habit
of changing his name - but not e-mail addy)

I don't think people should have to "lighten up" about this, death affects
people deeply and I also think that ridiculing Jette's own personal pain is
very petty and inconsiderate. She and everyone else on this ng have a right
to be hurt and angry. As for taking this 'soooooo seriously and being so
outrageously indignant', it is *extremely* serious and the individual who
played this cruel prank was outrageously indignant to common decency and
etiquette. There was a complete lack of respect for PW, his family, his
friends, and his fans. I do not believe forgiveness is impossible (I do not
believe it is ever impossible) but it will take time for people get over
this, and perhaps some never will. The individual did apologize, but that
doesn't mean things will suddenly be all better.
I lost two friends in an accident this year and the shock and suddenness of
their deaths was very painful and frustrating. It is *never* a joke.
peace,
Andrea

I used to watch and love a show called Kindred: The Embraced, it was not the
most successful show but I liked it. I rarely missed an ep. It had been
cancelled by Fox but there was talk that it might be revived in syndication by
some European company which, now excapes my memory. It stared Mark Frankel as
the Vampire Prince of San Francisco. Mark Frankel was handsome and talented
and on the threshold of great success. He died at the age of 34 when his
motorcycle collided with a truck. It was on a ng that I first learned of his
passing. I was shocked and saddened and felt it in my stomach. I thought at
the time it was untrue, some cruel joke, but sadly it wasn't.
That is why I am furious with this thread (as it originally was). This so
called practical joker caused those feelings I described above to resurface.
This was just unfunny and cruel. period. The only thing that I am glad about
is that the troll admitted that he lied. As for forgiveness? I doubt very
much that this troll really wants or needs our forgiveness...

I'm sorry, but how can you say something this cruel *2 days* after a good
friend of Jette's died? It seems to me that you haven't yet had the
experience of the death of a close family member or friend in your life.
IE, I'm hoping that you are not so callous that you can just shrug off
something like someone's death by saying "people die every day".
I realize that we are separated by thousands of miles of fiberoptics, but
the people on this newsgroup and elsewhere on the Internet are still people
with feelings. If you were sitting around the lunch table with people at
work, conversing face to face with them, would you say something like this?
Probably not. You would be eating lunch alone if you did.
One of the reasons I identify with this series and DM is how it deals with
death. Yes, DM often says things like, "People die" but it is his way of
dealing with his own pain. He has never and would never say something like
that to a friend trying to cope with a recent loss.
Sorry to hear about your recent loss, Jette.
Beth S.
In full realization that DM is a fictional character, but is just trying to
make a point.

well its the next day and Marc and other defending him I guess you have never

Dad just died. and also to come home from work to hear on your answering
machine your best friend 43 years old passed away that monring... No you do not
know the heart ache yet.. Yeah people die every day but when you love ,respect,
need ,these so called people a litle bit of you die with them.. Jette you have

>>I find this statement perplexing. Why are we drawing on a fictional

Highlander to guide them? What are they going to do after this season?<<
No, I don't believe that we are drawing on a fictional character to define our
morality. We respond to this fictional character because we were moral people
to begin with. It takes many, many years for a person to define their personal
moral stature - and it starts in very early childhood and continues to grow and
evolve as one goes through life.
I used Duncan as an example because, after all, this is ATH and the characters
of the show is the uniting force that keeps the newsgroup going. If we all
didn't like Highlander so much, we wouldn't be here, reading the enormous
amount of posts(!), responding to those that move/tickle/whatever us to do so.
Duncan's character is a commonality which we all understand and can use to
*define our terms* so to speak.
I'm probably not making any sense. Oh well . . .
Maybe Jerri's right - Duncan also has quite a capacity for revenge.
But I can assure you, that after Highlander is over, we (most of us anyway)
will all continue to be moral people drawing on Real Life experience to grow
and progress, just like we did before Highlander.

It is truly amazing how trifling people think that simply saying " I'm sorry"
FIXES anything they might do. It does not. In fact, the cavalier attitude is
simply further insult. I have also notices over the years that such
self-absorption seems to be directly related to one's testosterone level. This
is not an idictment of all males, merely the attitudes.

First off I have to say I never saw the original post but having lurked
here a lot I know that most of you out there wouldn't react this way unless
it was very serious, and I'm with you all on that. I have one thing to say
to Marcus, did you ever considered that someone might be lurking in this
group who might have a deeper connection with Peter (i.e. a family member
or friend who may not see or him from him all the much). Say like a cousin
or something. Sure they can call up and find out if it's true or not but
that initial shock could kill a person or send their emotions to the moon.
Death is never a laughing matter and lying about it on this NG is like
crying wolf, if it ever really happens (whether someone from the show or a
list member) people will have doubts.

Or say like all those mythical "PTB" (including AP, etc.) who are rumored to
read the ng from time to time but who probably don't talk to PW daily now
that HL is over, and who therefore may have gotten the shock of their lives,
learning that their *friend* had supposedly died?

If this indeed be the case, wouldn't this cause you to pity him more than scorn
him? I do not mean this as a flame, or even passing judgement upon your

Therefore, the if feelings that drove this *troll* to do what he did may indeed

i understand what you are saying Skia. i would be very interested,
though, in knowing Marcus's age. if he is an adult and did this,
it is disturbing that an adult would not realize the serious, possibly
tragic implications of a totally humorless prank such as this one.
if this is a young adolescent boy, however, well, adolescents do
really incredibly stupid things all the time. i just hope he
understands
the ramifications of his actions, how many people he hurt. if he
learns from this it won't be a total loss. if he still thinks it's
funny,
i think the boy needs help. an adult so cold to the feelings of other
people is sad and frightening. hopefully, he'll grow up to be a
responsible, kind adult.

Jette,
Your original post was gone off my server or I would have replied there. I only
hope you can ignore this monstrous little troll's comments as much as possible.
I'm just jumping in to say that those of us who have experienced real loss DO
understand your pain. (My dad, in 1971, was only 58. My big sister, in 1981,
was only 37, and so on... ) And yes, as an animal lover, the losses of my cat
and a couple of dogs over the years were as painful in their way as the loss of
my human family members. a simple "I'm sorry" is never adequate for a loss, but
I just want you to know that I do care and I'm sending a VR hug your way.

Sheila, Marcus apologised by private e-mail and seemed sincere, so I have
decided that he is just a little over-eager in his joke; maybe a little
young. I've *forgiven* him (but I don't forget).
JSP on the other hand, claims to have suffered losses himself. Seems to me
he learnt nothing from them, certainly not how to empathise with other
people.
