Didn’t even notice since I have had him muted fo quite a while.
And as for speaking ill of the dead: he used his gifts to hurt a lot of people and he himself celebrated the death of people with AIDS.
He wanted people to speak well of him after he was gone? He should have been a better person. That is on him, no one else.
And who knows, maybe someone who is considering following his road will have a chance to reconsider if that is the way he or she wants to be remembered.
