    We won't be locking this thread unless hostilities get out of hand. While Kobe did a lot of good in the world, and was beloved by a great many people as a result, that does not erase the hurt he has inflicted on others. While a moment where nine people, three of whom were children, died horribly is not the place or time to bring up the bad he has done, it is a part of his legacy and deserves to be discussed and not swept under the rug.

    Kobe was accused of rape and all the good he's done doesn't erase that. This thread will remain open to discuss the accusations against him and allow those affected by similar horrific events to speak their piece.

    You can use the obituary thread to express sentiments of mourning (this would be the actual "time and place"). This thread is about the harassment received by supporters of Bryant's victim concerning her allegations of sexual assault. Therefore, it is not the "time and place" to shut down discussion over this matter.

    Any posts doing that going forward will be treated as thread-whining and moderated strictly.
