While I'm not willing to go so far as to condemn Aaron I do find the sudden cult of worship around him and his work disconcerting. He did some great work and his death was a tragedy but at a certain point all the virtual grieving about him almost becomes a parody of itself.
I deeply sympathize with the friends and family of Aaron but I find the blogospheres canonization of him creepy and misguided. Humanization of an idea (freedom of information) is great but at what point does it become distracting from the actual idea?
- cremnob 14y agoI tend to agree with you and the blog post. I generally avoided those threads because it seemed like everyone was emotional. In the matter of internet v. Ortiz, I tend to agree with Ortiz.
