I Just Want..

...Him to be remembered more for the icon, genius, and humanitarian he was, than his controversies, short-comings, and faults.

We can't point our fingers at each other, without, first, pointing fingers at ourselves.

Yeah, that thread is getting out of hand (is it still going?) and, sadly, I contributed. :/ Bleh. I always throw myself right into the middle of the wank even though I KNOW it's a bad idea. I'm feeling less harsh about TII now because I have more information on how the proceeds are being split, so I'm not so RAWR! about it.

I'm still not sure I want to see it but now it's kind of back to my original reason for not being sure I want to see it and that's because I don't know if I can handle it emotionally.

We (fandom) are tearing ourselves apart repeatedly and I think Michael would have hated to see this mess that's been left behind.

Yeah, I'm gonna go back and delete my comments, actually. I just...UGH. I need him to pop up from somewhere, alive and well. Totally immortal.

...Then again, I don't even know. I don't want it to seem like I'm dissociating myself from the fandom and that comm, because I like it, but...WTF. I don't want to fight or piss anyone off. It's just that people have a tendency to make bigger deals out of things than they should.

Actually, I was just thinking about this kind of thing this morning.

I'd rather remember him for the good, especially since the bad can't even be proven. The good definitely can, and I won't even start on the list.
It's much better to find the good in people, than to focus on the bad.
