There will be people who celebrate the demise of this man. Some may even use the opportunity to get 'payback', due to the hurt and pain the WBC have inflicted on others at their lowest ebb (picketing funerals etc).
Me, I think the best response is to completely ignore his death, and take the high road...but I will admit that I won't be shedding any tears, and vaguely hope that his last few days on Earth are filled with pain.
//and vaguely hope that his last few days on Earth are filled with pain. //, Sadly sp1814 you are showing the same traits as the guy you are talking about, I am very surprised as I have always supposed that you were way above this sort of bigotry.
A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own or intolerant of people of different political views, ethnicity, race, class, religion, profession, sexuality or gender. (Wikipedia)
Yes I also had no idea of his existence, but now thanks to sp he has enlightened us all, to this persons vile preachings.
On first reading this I thought that this Fred Phelps was a mass murderer or a known terrorist, due to sp hoping his last few days on Earth are filled with pain.
Strange though that much worse things are taking place against gays in Africa but apparently sp is rather quiet regarding these much more appalling atrocities.
The most appropriate way would be to hope that he has a good death after coming to see the error of his ways. Anything else would be sinking to the level of bigotry he showed.

No - what I meant by 'bored' is that I'm bored with AOG's constant need to turn a thread about Fred Phelps into a discussion which will turn into a race issue.
It's always the same...and it's thoroughly boring.
It was you who entered a thread regarding certain ill treatment of gays by one particular person who most of us knew about, I was merely extending it to more serious issues which most of us ARE aware of and also attached to the same debate.
I was in no way side-tracking the issues, that some ABers are so keen to do, when certain revelations hit a raw nerve.
