Ok, I feel the need to say this. I really need to be careful what I post in the future. Yesterday I wrote a post informing the Jayne Mansfield audience about Paul Mansfield's passing and I now regret doing so. I purposely did not give any links to the families obituary sites however the links did end up being passed around on facebook later in the day and because of that a fan left a very distasteful message on the families guestbook. Paul Mansfield had his own family and his own life long after Jayne Mansfield. I don't think any Jayne Mansfield fan has a right to be mentioning Jayne to Paul's family when they are grieving for their loss. I actually discovered the news of Paul's passing before I made the post but decided not to post about it then and there as the funeral had not happened as yet. I am glad I at least made the decision to wait until after the funeral but I do regret posting about it so soon after his passing. Perhaps waiting a few months would have been in better taste at least. Paul spoke about Jayne in a few of the best documentaries on her and he seemed like such a nice down to earth person. I thought that mentioning his passing to Jayne's fans would have made people think to themselves 'Oh that's a shame, he seemed like such a nice guy' and that would have been it. Well now it is being spread around like gossip and I do feel responsible about it. In the future I wont post such personal things dealing with the family unless it is something that has long long passed.
With that said, It's all about Jayne from now on.
