Telling us what to think (Benoit)?

Just thought this was a funny post. Not having a go at you, but it's "soft" to deal with murder by trying to rationalise it using concepts such as science, but it's "hard" to just call someone a murderer and whinge about their work for the rest of your natural life?

What Benoit did was wrong, but he was a sick man. Verne Gagne apparently just killed someone -- because he was a sick man. Are we going to strip him from the record books and the Hall of Fame?

I don't recall anyone calling Chris Benoit a saint. He sounds like a man so obsessed with his work that to know him in any other sense was a curse. He did steal wives, and partake in affairs. Such things make him, truthfully, a horrible person.

Does that mean his in-ring career should not be remembered? And we're not talking about promoted in the wake of horrific incidents -- we're talking remembered. As in not ingored.

Who has said that his final couple of days should be forgotten?
