A few years ago a famous television preacher died. Perhaps the more correct adjective for this "gimme" evangelist is infamous. We probably wouldn't remember the event but for one local wag who took to cyberspace to proclaim that he didn't have anything nice to say about the man while he was alive, why wouldn't he tell it like it is when he's dead?
The man may have had a point, but in such cases, it's best simply to say nothing. We're pretty sure those who refrain from criticism come out looking much better for it.
But what if the person is just a regular Joe for whom you had a great dislike? Do you prove anything by telling the world about it? Unless there's an ongoing court case or something similar, why would you even bring the person's name into a conversation?
The victim in this matter has asked that details of this incident be redacted. The family has retained an attorney, and it is now a sensitive legal case.
