2. Exhibiting pious self-assurance: self-righteous remarks.

convinced of one’s own righteousness especially in contrast with the actions and beliefs of others : narrow-mindedly moralistic

So I should fake it that I too have remained silent knowing a serial homosexual pedophile was raping boys, just like Paterno did?

In your mind I am obvious a much more evil human being than Paterno, who actually facilitated boys getting raped. Odd world you live in, in your mind.

Then let me be much more clear. The man is dead. Dead. You could have stayed clear of this thread. You could have come here and posted something to the effect that you hoped he made his peace with God prior to today, or that his legacy will be mixed and that's a damn shame.

But instead you came here posting purely negative comments. Either you were looking for an argument, or you have a compulsive need to position yourself as better than others. Sanctimonious? Self righteous? Perhaps people's mileage will vary on your actions. But are your comments those of an insensitive asshole? Unquestionably.
