I'm a bit surprised at the messages attacking a guy who's been dead less than a week. If anyone has any gripes about him, couldn't they wait for a while, out of respect for his family?

I didn't know about any of the things he is supposed to have done to upset certain people. I guess he wasn't a perfect human being then - who is? But in my (admittedly very brief) contact with him, I found him very courteous and helpful.
