“Reportedly, AT&T experienced a record number of texts being sent during the minutes following the news to the tune of 65,000 texts per second.”

“…..the first post which should be removed…….”

i disagree. the reaction, world wide, to michael’s passing, , speaks for itself.
as for the 1st poster, he’s entitled to his opinion. considering what’s happened, lets focus on michael & not fall prey to distractions.

Twitter crashed

Wikipedia seemed to be “temporarily overloaded.”

The Los Angeles Times, the first news organization to confirm Jackson’s death, suffered outages.

“AIM was down for approximately 40 minutes this afternoon.”

But then again that first post is typical poor, disrespectful posting from this sad individual who uses Rimarkable (and many other sites around the net) as his personal garbage can. It certainly doesn’t take much to see that this sad individual has little control of himself, even someone with a heart of stone should have the basic understanding that being disrespectful to the dead is not cool.

Thanks for editing the mess but sure think you missed the first post which should be removed for being not only the reason for the mess, but also because it completely lacks compassion and/or respect. Did you post the thread for disrespectful cheap shots posts against the deceased? MJ was a great, top notch, American artist, he had problems and may or may not have done acts against the law, all we know officially is he was never convicted of what he was accused of and now bet even you feel it is hardly the time nor the place for Rimarkable’s resident troll to take cheap and disrespectful shots.
