Maybe.
Maybe some will never know.
Maybe some don't give a fiddler's fart.
You keep bringing up this "brilliance" of hers. Ted Bundy was a smart, maybe even brilliant person. He was also a psychotic serial killer. Does his brilliance make him any less an unsavory character? Sure, N.drew is likely not a serial killer. She is, however, abusive in her batshit crazyness. I fail to see this "brilliance" that you speak of. Maybe it's because her nasty disposition acted as a shroud to anything worthwhile?
You act as though it's OUR loss that we were unable to see the rainbows and glitter. Would you let a rabid dog bite your hand more than once because there might be a good dog underneath, just waiting to be discovered?
Everyone who is happy to see her gone shouldn't be made to feel like they've missed out on something amazing because they refused to put aside her abuse and bullshit and make an attempt to see anything good. Not our responsibility. If you act like a horrible despot, people aren't going to like you. Pretty simple, really.
