I never before even heard of the guy.
The purpose of the thread is to inform us that ..."here is an interesting guy you prolly never heard of. Well he just passed away. He was a notable personage. Like Ron Popeel, or like John Prine. But unlike those two (notable for neutral or positive reasons) he was notable for a negative reason".
How are we supposed to react? Bury our heads in our pillows and cry about it?
The very first post is "Good Riddance".
Everyone has negatives.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg the most biased SCOTUS judge died, and many on the right were cheering, GOOD RIDDANCE to such a biased judge, and YES to Trump getting another SCOTUS pick, however, that would be *gloating*, so decent people knew to keep silent about such things.
Here though .. Koch, Rumsfeld, Limbaugh, and this obituary topic, we see the perversion of being quite celebratory of another's death.
