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).
