My last post was in reply to absent's remark which suggested to me that it is not grief that people who leave flowers or teddies or whatever after deaths but some other sentiment, such as sympathy. This has already been said on the thread by people other than me if I remember correctly. My interpretation of absent's post may be wrong but she is the only one who will know that for certain. There is nothing right or wrong about expressing this idea.
My post was not a criticism, just an opinion. It really doesn't matter except to clarify concepts such as grief, sympathy, etc. Which is what I thought the thread is about.
As for not trying to convince anyone of something different from what they'd already thought (or not thought, as the case may be), I thought that's what discussion was for as well as to simply express a firmly held opinion which one doesn't intend to change.
I have expressed my opinions same as everyone else. No-one has to like them or agree with them, or even read them. I have not made personal remarks, just said what I think in a general way. At least, that has been my intention.
