Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD

The point I was making in sharing my experiences was that being judgmental about Petty's overdose was essentially uniformed as no one knew what Petty was going through, their own experiences not withstanding.  A little catharsis goes a long way ... so boys, stop your sniping.

I'm now sorry I was a part of this thread.

Who was judgmental about Tom Petty?  The posts I read were sympathetic, and some (mine) explained how it could happen to me; I lose count of the pills but I don't lose count of the pain; if I accidentally take too many; " sayonara", over and out. 

Unfortunately ... there were two threads on this same topic.  My latest remarks were in response to what hifiman had posted last.  Read the last few entries and you'll see.

I like the sharing, it puts a human face on things, a human face on the text one reads.

Helps people with perspective. That is, in the final analysis, IMO and IME... fundamentally important to all these threads. It leads to less nasty projected/reactionary behavior.
