Please don't use a tribute post as an opportunity to make personal attacks on the character of a person who has nothing to do with the deceased person.

The guidelines make it clear we're trying for something better here, particularly these sections:

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously... Edit out swipes.

Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents.
