I also absolutely made no mention of you and your imputed “guilt.” I was responding to a specific post, and yes, my post actually referred to that post. Quite the novel concept, apparently.
Perhaps you need to climb down and not assume everything is about you and a hidden attack on you? And get comfortable with the notion that threads move on? There’s also no point at all in reiterating a point over and over; we got it the first time. You don’t feel guilty. Awesome. However, I detect an element of protesting too much in your repeated affront at something that wasn’t directed at you at all.

I quoted your post to address this statement:

However, this is highly situational, both for the reader and for the individual artist. I’m just saying that death doesn’t whitewash an author or his works, not while money is still involved.

and point out that buying a book by an author with a troubled past does not always give any money to the estate.
As to the rest of your post about this not being addressed at me, that's fine. your post was not. I want to point out, though, that the first post in this thread was DNSB addressing me...so...
