Well, my reasons for hating him are irrefragable.

No, I'm pointing out that it seems like you are dismissing marina for taking the easy path of hate when Falwell does the same thing.

If I hate the hater, am I any better? Yes, but not enough.

Did you notice that both the post you responded to as well as the previous post by me mentioned Falwell? No? And I'm the idiot?

Which is precisely my point. Posters have inferred that they hate Falwell because he was full of hate. Perhaps more self-introspection is needed at times of passing.

You can be glad to be free of something without hating.

Almost no one here used the word hate.

This is what you said: "Some Posters even gave reasons for their hate ... " And yet, only one poster said they hated Falwell. Just one. The math is very simple.

No one hates Jerry Falwell. They’re just glad he’s dead so that they can be free of the burden of the possibility that he might occasionally make brief appearances in the news and say something they don’t agree with or find offensive.
