I don't know if you've been around for the Traitor Debates but it's the same thing. I was trying to beat it into people that just because you do something negative doesn't overrule everything good you've done. But a lot of people apparently are only able to hold one "truth" in mind at any one time, so you're either good or bad, there's nothing in between.

Take some player who's never played for us and the verdict is: neutral.
Take Cannavaro (or Thuram or Zidane or Zambrotta.. the list never ends) and it's: evil.
What good has Rossi done? Has he done anything good for US soccer?

What annoys me is people taking these occasions to denigrate a person they never liked to begin with. Some jackass on a forum is saying MJ is a child molester with a great air of indignation. But if you weigh up MJ's achievements in life to that of this guy, it's a blowout. You didn't touch any kids, good for you. You also didn't do squat worth talking about.
I have a different problem. Whenever someone came up to me and fawned all over the greatness of MJ, my standard response was, "I was always more of a Prince fan."

I've been doing that for three decades. But if I do that now, and I get labeled as some sudden opportunist taking pot shots at MJ. :groan:

I'll give you bourgeois and the working class. Here's my social theory for Martin's digestion: social media is for the little people. MJ never used Twitter. Never had to. It's the chumps like us that wallow in the cesspool of social media as an urgent need. The people who really matter, don't.

Case and point: Ashton Kutcher.
