      There's a time to talk about Blatchford's awfulness and the day she died of cancer wasn't it.

      Is that a general principle you have, or is there something unique about her making you feel that way?

      Replying to @DavideMastracci

      No general principle except that a person has to have large scale real world violence (say Bush or Kissinger) to merit abuse on the day they died. Blatchford's evil was on a lesser scale.

          Hey Jeet, try and imagine how the sexual assault victims whose credibility she gleefully attacked felt reading her memorialized as "a tenacious fighter for victims" and tell me again it was not okay to push back on that on the day she died.

          I dunno, writing a national column a week after a 17 year old girl kills herself blaming said girl for her sexual assault seems like real world violence enough to me, but you do you Jeet!

          So if she only cause real world trauma and abuse on the micro scale, all is forgiven?
