I just think it is kind of a dick move to go around talking crap about someone who has passed away and who you have not even met. I would be willing to bet that Billy Mays' loved ones would probably be hurt by him being called a "cokehead".

To say things that could hurt grieving people for no other reason than entertainment seems like a shitty thing to do in my book.

What did Billy Mays or any other person ever do to you directly that entitles you to say anything disparaging about them? Whatever your beliefs he has surely paid for his mistakes. Maybe he should be allowed to rest in peace.

Just a note: This isn't just about Billy Mays..I would feel the same about anyone.

So, should I not call Mickey Mantle a alcoholic? I never met the man, but his drinking killed him. I doubt wherever he is in the afterlife he really cares what I'm saying about him on a videogame message board. Might of been one of the most gifted players ever, but had a drinking problem. This is a fact and if it wasn't for that he might still be alive and he might of ened up breaking a ton records.. I really don't think i'm saying anything disparaging about the man, just speaking the truth. He's still one of the greatest baseball players ever, but he had a vice, that was part of his life. To bring it up isn't talking shit about him, it's just talking about his life.

This is not just "talking" about his life. You aren't reporting the news dude. Look, I've beat this thing to death...if people want to be an ass, so be it. I don't have to agree with it.

Dude, he did cocaine, it killed him, along with a bunch of other drugs. No one is being an ass, just speaking the truth. Lots of people die because of drugs, should we not talk about how they died either?

Sorry about the ass thing, that was a bit much. We will just have to disagree on this.

I think people deserve a certain level of respect...that's all.
