Yeah, I agree with Jay and ADM. There's no harm done in talking about AWK, and it's better to get things out in the open than to stifle them. And I agree with Jay that by refusing to talk about him, we've given him power over us, similar to the whole Voldemort thing.
I also like the Holocaust analogy. Especially to the people who don't agree that they can be "compared", I agree. Putting the two situations together like that makes it really obvious that it's silly to take AWK so seriously. He was just a little punk who liked to stir up trouble. And now he's gone. Fortunately, there was no real harm done.
