I'm sorry, this is something that has been bugging me for a long time. It looks and reads like "rip" and it's really shorthand for "I can't be bothered to write out the words and can't find anything original to say".
I really am considering posting on the CMB with a general request that people stop doing this. Write "So-and-so has died" as the subject and then put something thoughtful in the body of the post.
This is not directed at you specifically but at the world at large.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

I nearly changed it yesterday, actually, after feeling uncomfortable about it. *NM*
