Absolutely agree. Those that have voted positive better bloody well explain themselves.
I think this is, (as was mentioned on the previous thread,) that voting either way may be a misunderstanding of intention
In that instance, a thumbs up could have been to signify that they were glad he was ok at the time, whilst a down could signify sadness that he was ill.
In this instance, a thumbs up may well signify that relief that someone has ended their suffering and has passed onto a happier and calmer place. Cerebral Haemorrhage is not a nice thing to endure for any length of time. RIP.
Dont try to double guess meanings which possible weren't meant...
Chill out...
His work has helped that stock price, not his death. I wish I could down rank you.
Tragic news, my condolences go to his immediate family and close friends.
As someone who has lost an Aunt and a Grandmother to this condition in the past four years, it's true that they are "silent time bombs" as someone called them.
I remember first seeing "Jerry" in the Macworld Expo video in 1997 when Jobs returned, and he ran a video showing the new board members and their thoughts on Apple.
R.I.P 🙁

I doubt that the scum that vote positive are even worth the keystrokes we make for them. 🙁
Is there any way to have it disabled on a single post?
They plummeted when he had the stroke. Logic (and good taste) suggests you are incorrect.
I doubt that the people who get angry just because someone clicked a blue link on a webpage saying "positive" are worth the food their mother fed them.
Keep voting positive guys. I wanna see one of these guys hemorrhage in their emo rage and leave the food for the rest of us with a sense of humor.
Farewell, Mr. York. Rest in Peace.
Someone turn off the Positive/Negative ratings please. This is sick.

I assume from people who think that remembering his life is a nice gesture from Macrumors.
You have confused my distaste with "emo rage". Would you like me to kick my cat in anger? 😕
(Time to unsubscribe from the thread, last post from me in this one.)
i am going to assume that people are hitting positive with the same intentions as yesterday.
positive for the fact Mr Jerome no longer has to suffer with the pain other consequences of the stroke.
my grandma suffered from one for 2 years before passing on, and I believe near the end, it would have been better to go rather than slug it out painfully for a few more months.
rip =(

Maybe they meant positive R.I.P.-ness! and thumbs up for Jerry in the big Apple Store in the sky. I can't see anyone thinking it genuinely good someone dies unless it's some evil dictator or someone generally renowned as an unpleasant arse. I've never meant whether a plus is supposed to mean good story/reporting, or hooray; good news happiness, so don't usually vote!
Anyway, sympathy to the family and friends. The only good side can be that he went quickly without a long suffering slow end or needing lots of constant care for the next number of years. I'd rather go that way, than lose all quality of life before I go.
R.I.P. Jerry. 🙁
