Would you be offended by insults against Osama bin Ladin, even though he's not here to defend himself? I think you wouldn't.
So what I said is true: we feel comfortable insulting people we don't approve of, and apply a different standard to people we do approve of.
What surprises me is that people are so adamant that it is good to insult the living -- who may be hurt -- and not the dead -- who can't be.
From my point of view you deserve whatever you are given. In your vaunted philosophy, that you use others work as your own you still can't admit the simple truth that you get what you ask for. So GM was somewhat comparable to Bin Laden. I will wait until you explain to me that. One was a murderous fundie, another broke your fragile ego.
Your last paragraph is of the utmost comedy. The living are here withnessing your sensibilities and you dare to strike at the dead, to make your point.
Funny that we are the snowflakes. And I don't even known GM that much, it doesn't matter. One day you will realise that the universe doesn't exist in your mind.
