Tom was committed to the principle of forgiveness. From what I know of him, he didn't forgive his enemies; he didn't put anyone in the position of "enemies." He forgave people who behaved in rotten ways for rotten reasons. He believed it's an important part of working for peace with your whole being.

I just needed to mention this because of course tempers are hot because of his death but ... it does him no honor. The best thing one can do in his honor, and in his memory, and for his family, is to read his blogs, learn a little about his thinking and his principles, and try to comprehend the vision of complete, active nonviolence of thought and action that Tom was trying to live by.
