[QUOTE="Kenny Coyote, post: 226100, member: 102"] It's bad form to speak ill of the dead. So no, families don't tend to talk about the bad things their dead family members did after they aren't alive anymore. In life, bringing up these negative things serves a purpose because you still have the ability to help hat person change their behavior. That's tied to the idea of redemption, that as long as you're alive you still have a chance to atone for your sins. That's what was disturbing about Donna's book about Sam Culver and including Jock in it only for the purpose of saying that he was Sam's business partner at the time that Sam Culver wrongfully committed his uncle to a sanitarium. Sam did the committing of Jonas and Jock drilled the oil on the land that Sam had gained power of attorney over. Not only could Sam no longer atone for his sins, but Donna was actually profiting off of those sins by writing a book about them. That's a special type of greed to be willing to go that far to get money and fame, especially since she had claimed to love Sam. It didn't look good that Jock was willing to be business partners with a man who did what Sam Culver did and they had that storyline right after Jock's death. If anyone though they tried to make Jock look like a saint after his death, how would you draw that conclusion when the very first revelation made about Jock's life after he died was of something of such a negative nature?
