I know it’s bad taste to speculate but the wording of the announcement makes me think suicide.

Fark.
That’s sad news.

It’s bad taste to speculate in general without basis, but I think we need to bring suicide into public discourse instead of thinking it’s in bad taste to acknowledge it - to help and assist with developing strategies around preventing it.
FWIW, usually when there is vagueness around the reporting potential suicide enters the conversation.

Not the only musician
I still love this performance more than any other version of the song.
When you live his lifestyle then things can happen. The things Warne did with his body was having an effect on his heart. It’s the nature of human frailty and excess.
So we have no more freedom of speech anymore?

My post was removed for being offensive?
There is nothing offensive about an OPINION. Just because it doesn’t suit SOME PEOPLES narrative, doesn’t mean it is INCORRECT.

I don’t know about that, I can have an OPINION about stuff that people find pretty offensive.
Sounds like the opinion of the mod of your opinion was offensive and that this opinion has offended you.
Turn down the cooker cheif.
You’re still entitled to an opinion, regardless of what people think. We aren’t on this Earth to people please, are we?
I used zero course language, I simply stated a noticeable trend. I didn’t ask anybody to agree with me.
we’ve never had freedom of speech.

I’ve learnt that certain topics are taboo. In a couple of years we’ll be able to have discussions and opinions.

Except Blitz is a privately owned forum where those that moderate have the power to determine what is acceptable and what isn’t. Blitz isn’t a democracy with an enshrined freedom of speech clause.

You’re entitled to your opinion (although perhaps consider the sources of your information if you think a vaccine is doing the damage rather than the virus. This is not some grand conspiracy, and those telling you that it is are using you to push their own brands), you’re not entitled a platform for it. In this case it was clearly the wrong thread, if it was even worthy of a thread.
