It can be said that the memories of a man in his old age are the deeds
of a man in his prime. If we only remembered people in a rosy
fashion, history would be a politely boring subject indeed.
I don't have any knowledge of this subject person, and therefor have
no emotion tied up in it either way, and my neutrality let's me read
the posts without a bias. I don't find any slander or mythologizing
going on, I see people discussing a dead person. I am actually more
mystified than anything by the critiques of the recent posts.
If some of you choose to view the recent posts on the subject as
character defense or character assassination, it's entirely that:
Your choice. You can delete the posts you don't want to read
entirely anytime before reading them--that's what subject lines are
for. You can choose to depart the list entirely, though its an
extreme option.
--But it's just as easy to become the detached observer.
I hope you all stay and enjoy the list, I know I will.
