Oh who cares. For pity's sake.
If it's someone you personally know and dislike,
you're not going to laugh about it in front of those who are genuinely bereaved.
But she was a public figure.
When you accept your role as an upstanding public figure,
nay, even work at presenting a respectable image,
AND the reality is somewhat questionable,
then, at the time of your passing,
if some people note that your actual character was somewhat incongruous
with what you attempted to present to the world
....then it is because that is what you earned.
She is literally sleeping in the bed she made, that's all.
I mean, how many people did you hear making jokes when Mandela died?
Personally, I never heard a single one.
Mandela did nothing to deserve it, that's why.
People genuinely respected him.
Vorlon is just telling it like it is. (Or was).
Honestly, you guys sound like a bunch of judgmental Christians jumping all over Vorlon.
And since when did you think that trying to shame Vorlon,
of all people,
with the accusation of "bad taste"
was actually going to make any kind of dent?
And I'd rather be accused of bad taste, than hypocrisy, any day of the week.
