the whole idea that people are profiting, or somehow getting off on, or exploiting this effort to remember Malachi is really convoluted.

i think by making a judgement like that you are belittling the guy and his memory. to make judgements about his, or other people's motives is absurd. you can't know what is in the heads of other people, and malachi made very clear what was in his own head. that is all you have to go on.

for that reason, I think your analysis is inherently flawed. You cannot know the minds of other people. when we make judgements, we are sometimes actually revealing things that are going on in our own minds.

i think malachi needs to be respected at face value for what it was. and i think the media is the real problem here, and i hate to see reactions by people that inadvertently bolster the position of the media to ignore this guy.

I'm not trying to have a big discussion with you. i'm just perplexed and concerned with your reaction to this. i think the attention needs to be on malachi, and the efforts to get the word out on him.

i think you need tom seriously reconsider the defamations you've posted concerning all of this, about people exploiting malachi. you are dead wrong on that. it's very weird.
