No, I am saying that because he did something that is not in the realm of standard behavior today (but that was historically traditional in this as well as many other cultures previously) - people are saying he is bat**** crazy.
Columbus was bat******** crazy. Copernicus was too. The man made a choice to honor his grief and the life that was lost in a way that he felt was most appropriate for he and his family.
