> I don't know what would be the appropriate way to worship such a person, maybe a little altar or something?

Whats with the snarky condescending remark?

Why does someone needs to be either dead or have world shattering contribution to humanity for others to appreciate their contribution or even existence?

I didn't even know this guy until recently, but I just went through some of his writing and (to me) it showed a person with creativity who put a lot of effort in his work and some people really appreciates that. And this small group of people who liked his work wants to put aside one day to celebrate his contribution. So they had an option between selecting a random day or a day that this person stopped his online persona.

Let them celebrate, you don't have to be a dick about it.

It's only snarky and condescending because you pull it out of context.

> Why does someone needs to be either dead or have world shattering contribution to humanity for others to appreciate their contribution or even existence?

There are 365 days in a year, and this particular person has at least in my opinion clearly indicated that he no longer wants to be part of the whole thing and would like it all to stop.

Continuing the _why saga appears to be in direct opposition of what the prime entity in this whole thing wants, so how could that be celebrating it?
