It is ridiculously pointless whether I know someone who is offended, and I can see no other reason why you posted that question, but yes, maybe my PoV is blinkered. But so is yours, suggesting that I think the relatives of the Eschede victims must lack common sense. The point is, even if this accident is already almost ancient history, I would guess that the question whether those relatives wanted the names published in that way was almost certainly discussed with them. It has absolutely nothing at all in common with publishing names on a website without consent, but you probably knew that and ignored it to drive home your point.
Yes, people have different views and different standards. My problem is not that I think my PoV is the only one with merit, my problem is that MM does not care about those different views and merely shrugs them aside. And I still fail to see the point in publishing specator names. Let's just take, for example, that dark day in Monza history when Wolfgang von Trips and dozens of spectators died in that one big accident. Is it good and meaningful to commemorate the accident with an entry at MM? Yes, of course. Does von Trips's name belong there? Why, yes, perhaps people will take an interest in his life, and in any case he was there to perform before public, so no problem. What about the names of marshals and track workers? A bit more tricky, as you can hardly expect people to take an interest in the individuals, but they were there on duty and died performing a task without which motorsport would hardly be possible; it's good practice to thank and commemorate the 'invisible helping hands' of the 'without whom department', even if it may be impossible to get clearance from relatives. But the spectators? Who benefits from knowing their names? What purpose does that serve? Why would you violate their right to remain anonymous? It's bad enough that those who were responsible for spectator safety did not do a proper job to protect them, why would you then want to drag their names through the mire, without even knowing (or caring) who they were?
And before the next one comes and goes on about war memorials with the names of innocent victims etc., let's just take a deep breath and think about why there's a big difference. C'mon, it's really not that complicated!
