What a ridiculously stupid thing to say. Have you not noticed the stickys on every single forum?

Excuse me, to suggest that link I put up was disrespectful or insulting towards Steve Irwin is completely untrue. Yeah it's lighthearted (like Steve was himself), but if you bother to read what's it's about you'll realise that it's about how much people appreciated Steve and miss him already instead of you dreaming up that people are happily taking the piss out of him. I'm sure if you and the others bothered to read the entire thread you'll see this post which backs my personal integrity up. You've completely misinterpreted what that was about and immediately came to the conlusion that it was someway taking the piss out of Steve, I can understand that people will react differently to certain things and may be too PC within themselves but I know that I was in no way being disrespectful.

Your link was removed, so all people saw (including me) was a line saying "petition to bring Steve back to life" or something equally ludicrous and yes it seemed very disrespectful even if that was not how it was intended.

Dont take this thread away from people taking about Steve, let it go.

I was genuinely very shocked to hear this news yesterday. He was definately an amazing personality and really brilliant at what he was doing.. His love of animals and his ability to make each one he focused on seem like the most amazing creature on earth! He got some hassle here and there for different things he done, but i really think the reason he got so close and personal to these animals was to really try and show the viewer the animals real personality..... no matter how viscous a personality it might be! I heard a clip on 2FM last night of him with a cobra of some sorts, the cobra hissed at him and some venom went straight to his eye "good job I had me sunnies on" he says but even on radio, his description of what was going on was so excellent you could imagine it perfectly without even seeing any pictures. RIP Steve Irwin.

Wasn't too impressed when Rick O'Shea was after saying a few words about Steve last night, and in a rather serious tone for him.. he went on to say something like "we really had to think about who we would bring in for this, so we decided to get the only person really who knows quite a lot about wildlife and would appreciate the loss" etc etc "so on the phone now we have .................................. Derek Mooney" Jaysus. To make matters worse, one of Mooney's first lines were "I didn't really like his TV show".

What. The. ****. Were you one of these people who wanted an English county named Dianashire?

:-o gotta 'rofl' at that really! as jokes go 'like'

I feel really really sad by the news of his death. My heart breaks for his family, I can't imagine how much he will be missed by the people that knew him. Rest In Peace.

RIP Stevo..

ytmnd pays tribute

I met Steve and his wife a few years back when they were promoting their movie here

A genuinely nice guy, bursting with enthusiasm for what he did.

When I first heard the news I could not believe it, I checked several web sites to confirm that it was true. I am glad that he passed away doing what he loved but the world will be a darker place without him. He was a wonderful educator and seemed to be a wonderful husband and father. I was on to my dad the morning that he died and we both talked about how we were deeply upset at his loss.

Sad to see him go, the world is short one big personality now that he's gone.

RIP steve, hope that you've gone to a better place.

That would be the area of low pressure sweeping in from the Atlantic.

Again someone with absolutely no respect for the man his family or what there going through, regardless of your opinion of him you should not come in here and broadcast it , this thread is for condolances only and quite frankly id expect better conduct from a mod then this

Alot of people were deeply affected by steve irwin and his work in conservation and trying to get his message out, and for someone to regardless of who he is to come in here and basically take the P**S out of him just cause he thought he was a nutcase is wrong

If you have nothing to say then dont say it plain and simple, if someone belonged to you died and people started saying he deserved it cause of what he was doing, would you like it no

So id ask at least to remember his children and stop all this other rubbish and stay away if your just gonna take the P**S
