I think referring to Michael Jackson as “Jacko” is HIGHLY DISRESPECTFUL. And it clearly shows one’s disdain for him. My family, friends and I were taught that if you cannot say something good about someone, then say nothing. Because something is written and your face is not shown… does not not disconnect the statement from you… Show respect if you want respect.
