You referenced the Nazis on this thread for a reason.
Abortion is an abomination. I can be against abortion and not dance on someone’s grave.
You can have the last word if you like.

Where and when did I “dance on [Bourdain’s] grave? Or anyone else for that matter?

From just about everything I’ve read on this thread Bourdain was criticized for using his cuisine show as a platform to advocate his ideology. Some of the denser posters here conflated criticism of his political views and public advocacy with a celebration of the man’s death.

Sometimes people use media to represent themselves for more than who they are. The courts identify such people as “public figures”. We don’t know them personally but for what they represent themselves as.

When you represent yourself as a supporter of a reprehensible and wholly un-redeeming ideology you are bound to suffer some collateral damage in the thoughts and prayers of decent people.
