- Broken_Hippo 9y agoSure. I have no respect for someone just because they happen to have died, and am honest about it. Dead folks can't take offense, and I think the family members and friends should have the frame of mind to be honest about he deceased life. That's it. It isn't like the respect is universal. A mass murder dies? It's quite alright to bring up his/her crimes. Serial rapist? Sure, it'll be brought up. Open racism? Yup, it'll probably be reported. Few complain. (I do not believe Hugh was on the level of these folks. Man wasn't perfect, though).
