Quoting Myt332 (Reply 2): being disrespectful to the dead but when I saw his photo
Sorry for the misnterpretation. I actually do have respect for the dead. However whether one is dead or alive I think a comment about someone has equal value and thus I just wanted to state my point of view.... Sorry again If I offended people
