Thread Name: BS: Ronald Reagan - Sadly Missed
Subject: RE: BS: Ronald Reagan - Sadly Missed
KimC, you and others of your ilk are trying to dictate and control the way people "should" repsond to the death of a very divisive, loathed and loved person in a forum that is quite informal.

There is no law of etiquette that people must say nice things about a deceased person they loathed in life, and people speak their own truth, not niceties, when they talk informally like this about someone passing.

There is also no law of etiquette that says we must speak well of the dead if we don't know them personally, which is true for everyone here. Famous people die all the time. People heap undue praises and undue condemnations of dead famous people all the time.

Anyone who would complain about people damning Reagan here, especially with all the media hype surrounding the death everywhere you turn, is just plain whining.
