> I don't think anyone intentionally meant to be negative. Expressing a personal dislike for a person isn't necessarily negative, but people who are upset and feeling sensitive about his death might find it a little hard to hear.

I was really surprised that that was considered negative.
I actuatlly thought saying "I'm not a fan" is a very polite way of being honest.I mean what if GWB died?
That would be about all I could choke out.
And there's no universal consensus on who is someone to be idolized.I actually got crap at work for not being suitably sad when Benny Hill died, I wasn't rude, I just couldn't pretend to be sad for anyone but those who loved him.
