Update:I've removed this post. Schepp died in a car crash after I published it. It looks like it was a suicide. It just didn't feel right to keep the post up.
I almost sent him a satirical email, but changed my mind, thinking it might put him over the edge. Now, I'm glad I didn't. I'd have had a hard time dealing with that.
I only have a few minutes, but I feel like need to share some of the thoughts I've had since I learned about this last night. First, I have little sympathy for Schepp. He was a despicable, selfish coward. He victimized young girls by sexually assaulting them and his own children by committing suicide rather than using the experience as an incentive to become a better husband, father, and human being. His kids will carry this with them forever.
Secondly, I debated whether I should remove the post. I felt like I should, although I couldn't think of a compelling reason to do so. The message hadn't changed. Schepp is no less a scumbag because he killed himself. If anything, he's worse than I had imagined. Still, keeping the post up didn't feel right to me, so I removed it.
