That's a good quote but i am not sure i agree entirely. What about traditionalism? Or cultural heritage?

I'm not sure I agree with it either.
On traditions and cultural heritage: I genuinely miss Malice. We never really spoke about much to each other, I'm sure he considered me as a sort of insect, but I very much enjoyed reading about his life and experiences. I hope those posts are documented somewhere, so someone else can enjoy reading them as well. But to enshrine him? That is a little much. He was depressed and he killed himself. Some might consider that to be inspiring but it just makes me sad. He had a place here, and when he left here he left us with a void that will never be filled and eventually even that will be forgotten.

I agree with the general sentiment of this thread. But i feel as though his suicide impacted me disproportionally not compared to you guys but to other people on here dying, i actually had somewhat of a rapport with malice and when i found out he an hero'd i was pretty sad. Reading the Coroner's Report was a pretty surreal experience. I was a bit perturbed for a few days after. Maybe i still am.

What about the few dozen members who died in the past few years and contributed more to society and were arguably more human than malice?
