Some of you may have noticed that comments have been on the "moderate" setting for the last day. That's because while I'm committed in principle to the ideas of easy feedback and a lively exchange of opinions, I don't think an in memoriam post is the proper place for full-out venting. At least not anonymous venting. De mortuis nil nisi bonum, and all.
If the person who wanted to offer another perspective on Bart Whiteman wants to resubmit that perspective under his or her own name, I'll consider posting it after a suitable period has passed. But not this week. And not on the thread that his widow has been following -- because on that thread, commenters have found ways to acknowledge Whiteman's flaws without being callous.
