Why is that a disclaimer and why does your comment sound like knocking on something good? If you haven’t watched the documentary “The Internet’s Own Boy” [1], check it out. The amount of harassment (mental and emotional) he faced could also bring most other people to take steps that they never would’ve imagined themselves doing.

It’s very easy to knock down others. But you haven’t lived his life, and you just cannot know how it was for him and what pushed him to take his own life.

Would someone put down any works by Ian Murdock (founder of Debian) because he also took his life?

I find these kind of criticisms, based on some actions of a person who otherwise contributed a lot, very silly and downright insulting in the meanest of ways.

Next time you want to write a disclaimer on Aaron Swartz, you could perhaps describe it as how the FBI and DoJ went too far and killed him in more ways than one.
