Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm don't see how its more appalling to kill someone who wrote wonderful books than a wonderful father or somebody's precious baby boy.
It makes me feel a little queasy, actually, that people make the distinction. I really think we shouldn't.

I guess, but the reverse happens all the time. So and so was the father/mother of two small boys/girls... we have no idea what kind of father or mother, of course, but that rarely seems to matter.

Everyone was someone's precious baby. (Or at least should have been).

My guess is that if you kill a writer whose work you've read and/or enjoyed - it makes it that much more personal.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
On the flipside of the thing I posted - I've read a number of accounts where a soldier almost kills an enemy, and then after the war they meet again and become friends.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They just broke a light bulb the cube over. We're all going to die.
Killing your authors...I guess the idea is that if you kill someone you've heard of, you should be killing that specific person on purpose. And that the more people that have heard of them, the more people you're depriving.
A pretense of facelessness serves war.
