I've seen that behaviour on here too.

It's damn near illegal and harshly looked down upon to talk bad about a dead person, even if they deliberately were a major asshole in real life.** Even worse when it seems it was all a tragic accidental death (so they're saying). 
Worse now that his doctor has lawyered up i don't think they'll have a straight answer on anything until legal and insurance cases have been settled.
 
**besides, even now, television ratings are everything.

I would like to see any one of his lawyers write a tell-all about any or all of MJ's cases and settlements. Would reveal lots.

Aside from the implication that paedophiles are okay if they've also written some nice songs, my main grievance about this whole bloody circus is the media conspiracy to hush-up his charming recreational activities. I could be wrong, but none of the eulogies, bios and ass-kissing pieces of tripe that I've read actually mention his court cases and multi-million dollar out-of-court settlements. The closest any of them have come was a sheepish remark that "[his] later life was dogged by legal problems". Since when did being arrested count as a 'legal problem'? That makes it sound like some boundary dispute with a neigbour, or at worst a little income-tax evasion.
 
It's disgraceful. If Gary Glitter had actually written some half-decent songs, does that mean he was really a nice guy? When he dies do we all have to agree not to mention his child molestation in case it offends someone?
 
Jim.

It's all fucking meaningless. People have been force-fed this inane bologna for years that MJ was some sort of "genius' (the most abused word in the English language). Pile of fucking crap.
I'm sick of it.

 If his fans liked his music, why didnt they have the c.d's, downloads etc already? Why the sudden rush to purchase and d/load. Somethings smells and dont just mean his corpse!
