What does "dislike by default" mean? Are you implying that people don't actually have reasons to dislike him based on the actions of himself and his company through the years? It's not like people just decided "I d

If you didn't want to leave it behind, you shouldn't have posted it on a public forum. Good luck deleting it from any archival sites it has ended up on.
