I can't speak for everyone, but when Christopher Hitchens died I was truly upset. I knew it was coming but I still felt like weeping.
Today I was feeling mopey again until I came across the above comment. Trolls are gonna troll, I'm told, but I would liken this to what the Westboro Baptist Church does at military funerals.
It may be that the death of Hitch is just very upsetting to me, his book "God is Not Great" is the first thing that fell into my hands (a gift from my wife) that made me feel like there was a whole community of people out there who felt the same way I did about religion. Taking that into account, I may be overreacting.
Regardless, I think my analogy of the WBChurch's funeral protesting is a valid one. Other commenters showed up to grieve, shinyblurry showed up to troll.
