Comment on Harold Bloom Has Diedparent

I don't know about Bloom, but it has become abundantly clear of late that many sexual predators and generally nasty people were very good at covering up their misdeeds, and enabled in so doing by institutions and silent conspirators. I'm completely over this idea 'yes he may have abused X, but he made great thing Y, let's remember him as a great fellow'. It's time for complex appraisals, and to say 'yes, he was a shit' if that was the reality, even if some illusions are shattered.
