I do think it's in poor taste to start in with the disparaging essays and comments right after someone passes. I'd have to give more thought to what the wait time should be, but let people mourn their lost loved one for a month or so at least. I'd have a lot more respect for this kind of thing if someone showed up later like "I didn't wanna say this while you all were in the total shock phase of mourning, but..." People on here aren't consistent tho. It's only in poor taste when they like the person. Not only does the immediacy of their bashing say so, but the fact that they completely ignore the 99% of positive contributions said person made to society (in these cases in particular).
