[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous] I'm the original PP and I wasn't specifically referring to this forum. I think people who protect the dead and the media who gloss over history are dangerous. Of course Jeff can do what he likes, but I suspect [b]if there's too much censoring going on then his business will take a hit[/b].[/quote] Just to be clear, if I have to choose between what I think is right and what is financially beneficial, my family better get used to rice and beans. More to the point, there is plenty of criticism of Barry in this thread. While there is no need to lionize the dead, there is even less reason to demonize them. It is entirely appropriate to demand respect for a period of grieving. Barry was a larger than life local figure. For many, "Marion Barry" and "Washington" are inseparable concepts. This is an emotional time and DCUM shouldn't be used to fuel the worst of those emotions. [/quote]
