But it's the man that died, not the persona; that'll live on forever through reruns. To call someone a "stupid fuck", amongst other things, then turn around and say you have nothing against the man, seems a little bizarre.
I guess on LJ it's important to say what you mean and mean what you say. Everyone's entitled to an opinion. That's yours, and this is mine. Don't back down just because it's not popular. If it's what you believe, stand by it. But also be prepared for differences of opinion, that's the joy of expressing yourself frankly in a public forum. Heck, look at benpeek, who seems to troll for controversy on an hourly basis. :)
