If your interpretation is correct, then FlyerTalkers must speak respectfully of all complete wastes of flesh, including Osama bin Laden and other worthless trash. Others might seek to extend the protection to dead trash like Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin and others.
I've always thought the TOS prevented attacks on other FlyerTalkers, not public figures (unless they register as FlyerTalkers and request that the disrepectful posting about them cease).
