Hey, don't drag Bill into this!

I don't claim to have read everything Bill ever posted, so I don't know what you're referring to, but that sure as hell doesn't sound like the Bill Evans I knew. The Bill Evans I knew was one of those rare individuals who are capable of gracefully losing an argument, simply conceding a valid point, with sniping, parting shots, or resentment. I'm not saying that I can't conceive of him ever bringing up the fact that he had outed himself in the context of any argument, but I can't see him using that as an all-purpose trump card, let alone doing that regularly. He was also one of the most decent human beings I've encountered, and would never have threatened to out anyone else, nor was he careless with other people's personal information. When did he ever dare anyone else to out themselves, in the course of an unrelated argument? That doesn't sound like him at all. Look at them both now eh? Boy...talk about drawing gratuitous connections. Bill died of cancer. Mike, I heard, had emphysema. What the fuck does that have to do with your personal gripes with either of them?! That's about as petty and crass as you could possibly get! What the hell's your point, that in the end you won because they're dead and you're not? Nice. Real nice. Oh, and since you're on a roll trashing the memories of the dead, do you even realize the intense irony of following a slew of Jefferson quotes with a random, out-of-context ethnic slander against Jews? Thomas Jefferson would be ashamed of you. - Prometheus, admirer of both Bill Evans and Thomas Jefferson and not amused by a post that shits on both their memories
