This is unlikely to be a popular post. If people find it really offensive, I'll take it down.
Her death was tragic, but do people have the really right to grieve a complete stranger? What position do you have to grieve someone that you've never known, never will, and may not even remember in a years time? Doesn't it cheapen her memory to turn her (effectively) into a chain letter?

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

But would you want it to be a chat thread or a discussion thread?
Better idea: Don't die.

I have friends online who i've never met, and probably never will.
But i know my online friends more intimately than i know some of my closest "real" friends

hell this whole discussion has cheapened her memory, and grief in general, who're we to discuss who should be allowed to mourn who?

And as for it being ok for "total strangers to read through what essentially served as a young girl's diary" That's what myspace and live journal are for, so that you can post all about your un/interesting life for people who are interested to read, you don't put things up on the internet if you don't want people to look at it. That much was her decision, and she made it before she died.
