This story reminded me of a post I saw on FB one time saying a teacher I'd had in High School had died. Everyone was commenting what a wonderful guy he was. My comment was that I hoped he'd lived long enough to realize it was wrong to have sexual relations with high school students. That he'd done that and other questionable things when I knew him. Someone took me "aside" in the comments and said this wasn't the place for that. Uh-huh. Where is the place for that, I wonder? And what are eulogies and social media posts for, anyway? To play a game of pretend?
