Not from me... I’m actively forgetting him.

“Active forgetting” is a really useful practise that is common to several primitive warrior cultures. Essentially, you make a conscious effort to not remember an evil person when he is dead. Eventually, he is entirely forgotten by everybody as if he never existed — which is a pretty bad thing to happen, when you think about it. It’s the opposite of “making History”. It’s one of the reasons why they used to bury hanged felons in unmarked graves: so they would cease to be remembered.

It works, and it’s alot easier than hating someone. Less risky to your Immortal Soul, too.
