Nah, you're wasting your time I'm afraid. All supposed morals, righteousness, and outrage immediately go out the window when they can point to something bad a person has done.
And for the record, yes, what the person in the article did is abhorrent. It's also not remotely surprising that it would fuck him up afterwards. But if anyone is celebrating him taking his own life, then you're not any better at all.
Every time someone reduces an argument to "someone did a bad thing" and "people who disagree", it's the same argument. We're talking about fascists and genocide, not pizza.
