About the deceased???
Yes, when you write about Hitler, Stalin, Nazis, etc. They're dead, remember?
we should treat him like we would like to be treated by others - with respect, despite our views.
As I already wrote - I care more about how I'm being treated when I'm alive, than once I'm dead.
Yes, he was. You ran debates with him, he wasn`t a stranger to you as you falsely claim.
He was a stranger to me. I barely exchanged any comments with him, I haven't met him in real life, I didn't know his name and surname, I didn't know what he looked like and I didn't even exchange any private messages with him.
