What a horrible crime, this is heart sickening :( I'm at a loss to understand why someone would perform such a heinously evil act...

I am not a member of the PCLinuxOS Forums.

@exploder ... Please make a post on that thread, on behalf of the LinuxMint Forum Admins/Mods ... and offer our most sincere condolences.

:cry:

"When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written?
He's written "He died." That's all, nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words.
The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is "He died."
It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with "He died."
And yet every time I read those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria.
I know it's only natural to be sad, but not because of the words "He died." ... but because of the life we saw prior to the words."
