Thank you for the call for basic decency.

Years ago, I had a friend who died after suffering a mental break and engaging in criminal activity and I can attest that online message board commentators mocking and belittling his death were deeply hurtful to his friends and family. Even if one doesn’t have empathy for the deceased (and to be clear I think they should), I’d hope people would remember that there are people who loved the deceased who may see this thread.
