Answer 1

Your blog posting is in no way disrespectful. While I agree that grammar and punctuation are super things to use in one's writing, I also believe that personal expression is just that--personal. There is a time and place where you will definitely need to follow proper English a little more closely, so be sure to learn it! For a blog, it's up to you to express yourself authentically. There are forms of poetry that loosely resemble your verse--not my preference. Freedom of Speech is a beautiful thing. Just be sure you can write to currently accepted conventions. Your future employers will appreciate it. :-) It was thoughtful of you to write the post and sweet in its sentiment.

Answer 2

It's not disrespectful (although some attempt at grammer and spelling would be nice) - in fact many people now use blogs as a way to communicate their feelings about the world around them, including untimely deaths. It's not wrong to have feelings about the death of someone you didn't personally know, and it's not wrong to express those feelings. It would be disrespectful if you were somehow saying mean things about the deceased or his family, but this was obviously a very sincere effort to express pain and sadness over a terrible tragedy.

Answer 3

Although I'm not a big fan of the massacre of the English language that you have attained in this blog I can honestly say that it is in no way disrespectful. I think it is very sweet of you to take the time to give a little boy's death this kind of remembrance. Always remember that opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one and most of them stink. Don't take people's criticism or advice as the gospel. Whomever told you this was disrespectful needs to read it a little closer and realize that what you wrote was an ode to this person, not an insult.

Answer 4

Why would that be disrespectful? From what I read, it sounds very sincere. Don't listen to your friend, it's fine.
How old are you? If you're gonna post something about some who died, spell out two and use proper punctuation and capitalization. They deserve better than just "2". Maybe that's what she's talking about.

Answer 5

I think what your friend is trying to tell you is that you didn't know this person and you are expressing inappropriate emotions and involvement.

Also, I think your poor grammar and text speak is disrespectful. At least take the time to write a proper paragraph.

Answer 6

It is nice what you wrote to him, but I do see what your friend is saying, because you put to much of the things he never got to do. Instead of just remembering him.

Answer 7

that's not disrespectful!
