How easy it is for people to speak ill of the dead with them no longer around to defend themselves.
I might one day feel the need to tell the story of how .... Warren Zevon had a penchant for looking at naked photographs of a young Shirley Temple...
Actually, according to his ex-wife and kids, Warren Zevon was a mean drunk, a wife beater and kind of a shitty dad who's deathbed words to his only son were along the lines of "toss out my homemade porn collection."
I still like his music but I don't feel the need to delude myself into thinking that this talent makes him some sort of Messiah.
Your acolyte Mxy, on the other hand, seems to think that popularity as a dead celebrity makes someone immune from critical discussion.
But from the point that Mxy, and David are making is that, yes it may be true, but at the same time it could be total bullshit, as the person in question is not here to defend themselves, yet you seem to accept all this as fact.
Lets say you died tomorrow, and we wrote on your obituary that you sent every man on this board, naked pictures of yourself, fucking a goat. Should this then be reported as fact?
