Would you please stop posting flamewar comments and breaking the site guidelines? We ban accounts that do those things. We're not going to ban you for criticizing $celebrity, obviously, but please stop degrading the thread(s) like this.

Edit: this has been a problem for quite a while, including re said $celebrity:

I don't want to ban you because you also post good comments. Please fix this so we don't have to.


Please delete my account and all its comments.


Damn? Not only all of that, but he also seemed to piss in your coffee this morning.


Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes everything worse.

I think the severity of the response matches the unwarranted adulation usually heaped on Jobs. Some seem to almost think that he was some sort of minor deity.

He was an asshole, and also had a lot of redeeming qualities. They're not mutually exclusive. People aren't 2-dimensional, even if it's easier to pretend that they are.
