The thread's title is 'Jim Flaherty is Dead'.. not Jim Flaherty RIP.. or memorial thread. You start a new thread.. if you want nothing but salivating, saccharine sentiment.
If I could change the title of the thread, I would. I was a bit in shock when I posted it and obviously left it more open than intended.
However, I think it very poor taste to speak ill of the immediately dead in any circumstance. In such situations where you dislike the deceased, the classy thing to do is a simple "RIP" or say nothing at all.
