Maybe SC can say,but I can't recall a death thread here on the BB where there was such love/hate/let's be respectful type emotions. I mean every (or many) celebs have good, bad & ugly in their lives (maybe drugs/alcohol, scandal, etc)and we have gone into their lives. However, like I said, the nature of MJ's crimes raises the emotional level several notches because they are so unthinkable.
