I'm going to pose a scenario...

This guy lived his life as a loathesome prick; a complete and total ***hole. He dies young in a car accident.

Why do people, all of sudden, talk about how nice, amazing and friendly he was after he died? Dying doesn't make you a better person.

I think if someone who I didn't get along with died (if we didn't make amends or anything of that nature) I wouldn't mourn them, but I'd be respectful to the fact that there are probably people who I know that liked him or her. I'd keep it to myself, because I wouldn't want to say something bad about the person and create another riff with someone who liked him. If that makes any sense...

I have kept this to myself. But when other people who have said much, much worse about the guy act like it's the end of the world, I'm left in a state of disgusted confusion.
