I agree completely. Every now and again, there are people who cross lines that shouldn't be crossed. Binny was well known for his escapades and that reputation is the source of a lot of controversy in this community. However, Binny was human and humans make mistakes. They also change over time as they mature and realize their potentials. The defining attribute of a matured person is that they've learned from the mistakes they've made without sacrificing who they are in the process. I remember quite a few conversations over my time with this game that had to do with people who would "never change", and as a result those people closed themselves off from the possibility of knowing a person for who they really are. I had a few moments with Binny within the last couple of years--he was genuinely a decent guy, despite all the prevailing axioms and adages working against him. People do bad things and regret them. But life goes on, and we have to make the choice of whether we're going to hold on to petty grudges or let the past be the past, itself completely.

Sad. Rest in peace, Binny. Life transcends this shitty game. We remain and live on in the image of what we say and what we do. But it doesn't matter. A man is dead. As for those of you who cannot look past your own unsympathetic and shameless disregard for a life lost, I am unsurprised but equally disappointed. When it seems that people can't sink any lower, I am always shown wrong. I am disgusted.
