He flew a training aircraft for recreation, maybe his ‘anti-war ‘ sentiments were heartfelt. He can no longer defend his position, whatever it was.
Anyway, that aside, a great many individuals who knew him in person ( not on a forum) held him in high regard, but as is the case with most people, there are inevitably others who hold him in rather less esteem. I did witness a few of the online skirmishes which Bill got mixed up in, and have seen similar on all forums, where things quickly get a bit too personal and intense, in a way they probably would not in ‘real life’.
Most people broadly abide by the convention not to speak ill of the dead, but you clearly feel sufficient slighted by BG that you need to make your disdain public, and have the last word.
I think a majority of friends and enthusiasts will still prefer to remember him, and his flying endeavours in a positive light.
