Reply #136: This is moderately contemptible.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

I don't know anything about Aaron Spelling, or his legacy, except that he has just died, and frankly I don't care.

Someone's death is a time for their friends to grieve, and their enemies to keep quiet if they don't have anything positive to say.

It is impossible to show too much respect for the berieved, and showing too little is despicable.

If Spelling was a bad man, then wait a couple of months before trumpeting that to the world.

"Thee not carketh care, nor slumber
Nothing but the small cold worm
Fretteth thine enshrowded form,
Neath the green that folds thy grave,
Let them rave."

But he does have relicts, and care and slander can still hurt them, so if you didn't like him then save it for some other time.
