Just a little confused here, when Steve Jobs died there were a ton of criticisms of Steve that even trended towards nasty. When there was even the slightest criticism of Barry Altman the topic was closed immediately. Can someone explain the policy of when we are allowed to criticize the dead and when we aren't? Is it because Steve was a giant in the computer world and Barry wasn't? I just want the policy stated, rather than having to guess.
I have read some pretty vitriolic personal attacks whilst being in shock finding out the death of Jack Tramiel and my personal opinion is say what you like about the products but unless fraud is involved like with Maurice Randall keep it focused on the products not the person. I doubt there is a policy beyond the moral side of what is said and how about someone who has just passed away *shrugs shoulders*
