De Mortuis Nihil Nisi Bonum

Recently, a fairly well-known figure died. Someone whom I have strong opinions about. In fact, I thought this was one of the most despicable characters around.

A friend recently asked if I would write anything on this person's passing. No, I won't. I'm keeping my mouth shut. The only thing I'll say, looking at a number of obits, is I'm disgusted at the grudging respect and even occasional admiration this person received.
