Bashing have nothing to do with the truthfulness of the statement or not.

Look up the word maybe? (I did, since I'm not a native speaker, although 
I was pretty sure what the meaning of the word was anyway).

And you asked who I was accusing of bashing MRC. Is there any better way 
to answer that than by quoting such bashings and illustrations of 
expression of not knowing the guy?

Jeez. The guy is dead and cannot defend himself. You are attributing 
various things to him which definitely go beyond what you know about and 
attacking him as a person. I find it to be in bad taste, and especially 
when it happens in a thread started by someone expressing a feeling of 
loss since he's not longer with us.

And I can assure you that I had plenty of discussions with him, and I 
didn't have any problems with him.
