I agree with you all on the whole we should just let it go because, so what? Feelings hurt, guy's a jerk. The end.

But also, FTR, I had suggested a donation because I thought he was sockpuppet but I had no way of getting people to look for an obit other than to say, "Were there charities he liked?"

Also, if you think our kerfuffles are bad, imagine 6000 AP English teachers on a mailing list and you have the current kerfuffles I read on the internet.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Between my move and other things, I had not read this thread in 2 months.

Holy fuck I cannot believe what I missed.

Are the deleted posts now restored?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
