Re:Tom Magliozzi, Co-Host of NPR's 'Car Talk,' Dies at 77 by teddyh on Tuesday November 04, 2014 @05:22AM (#8555854)
I have never actually heard the show, so yes, I did actually think that at least half the focus was that the show would end – the show’s name is also in the title. Furthermore, since I never listened to the show, I excluded myself by writing “you” instead of “us”.

If I were to analyze your statements as you did mine, I might come to the conclusion that you are merely lashing out at anyone who seem to be insensitive to your loss. But I shouldn’t do that, as ascribing motives to you would demean this conversation. It’s better to keep things civil and polite.

I made some statements about the status of the show – nothing about the person, mind you – and they were misinterpreted as insensitive to the person. I made clarifications, but now you won’t believe me. I really don’t see what else I can do, now.

I will certainly refrain from commenting in mortuary articles from now on – there appears to often be too much grief for actual civilized discourse.
