Can you please stop posting flamebait and unsubstantive comments? We tried unbanning you awhile ago, and for the most part it has worked ok, but if you keep this up we're going to have to ban you again.

Are you in the celebrating death camp or not?

There's a certain level of bastardhood at which it becomes hard to feel sympathy for someone's demise. I don't know which side of the line Thomas Midgley Jr. is on, but he's reeeaaal close to it.

Do you think he intentionally invented it to harm people? I don't think you can logically position that it is good for a person to die but not those which they indirectly (and likely involuntarily) harmed.

CFCs are a pretty important invention even today and leaded paint and fuel probably seemed like a good idea at the time since no evidence suggested otherwise for a long while after it's introduction and commercialization. Unless he concealed information about known dangers, I think it's illogical to fault him to the point of celebrating his untimely death due to it.
