Reply #103: Another post mortem lecture, admonishing DUers that they aren't being polite enough

This always happens - a lecture to be "respectful", a plea to gloss over faults until some specified time has passed (and nobody will say how long that mourning period may be when it's finally okay to unleash the truth). Information that portrays Ford in a negative light is asked to be suppressed until nobody is paying attention anymore imho. It's as though any kind of post that MIGHT enlighten people by pointing out some really glaring problems (or even criminal behavior - gasp!), or expressing any kind of honesty that isn't fawning of the deceased has to be censured until ... when?

This is a message board ferchrissakes! If you can't suck it up and endure some conflicting opinions (and those of us who laugh at wakes or show up late for the funeral or whatever other breach of etiquette you feel obligated to admonish us about) then why are you here?? This is DU - a fairly rough and tumble place of conflicting ideas, personalities and POVs.
