I appreciate that you're being candid, but it's clear you also know that posting what you posted in this context is somehow wrong - otherwise why else justify it (childishly) on having a bad day?
Now my complaint: you could have posted this tomorrow and I wouldn't have so much trouble with it, but hijacking the announcement of someone's death to air privileged /and/ gossipy bits of their private life, their sexuality, their homelife, /and/ include allegations of sexual harassment all in one swoop strikes me as utterly distasteful, and the kind of personality I would not wish present at any party I ever attend.
- CydeWeys 9y agoThe comments here are honest, at least. Complicated people yield complicated discussions when they die.
- thaumaturgy 9y agoThere's nothing complicated about the comments here. So far they're merely awful: someone's death being used as an opportunity for people to air their grievances about that person. Imagine one of Adrian's family members sitting in a room with every person from this thread, and these comments being directed to them, in person. Fucksake HN. You're being more classless than usual today.
- krapp 9y agoThis seems to be typical for obituary threads about political and tech celebrities. Hacker News isn't known for its empathy on the best of days. Go see what happened when Ian Murdock died, if you want to know how crass this site can really be.
