Do you mean Doug, or are we speaking ill of the dead?

Yeah I do mean Doug.

Thanks lol.

I just want to point out that "speak no ill of the dead" is a fucking stupid idea, and nobody should ever say that phrase.

People should be remembered for what they did and who they were, even if (or maybe especially) they were bad.

I completely agree. Just last week I was saying to a friend how if we say the deceased, "were just the best/nicest/friendliest, etc." it minimizes the truly great people.

I was trying to make a joke and couldn't come up with anything better. Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―
