I didn't have this context. I always thought it was really heartless how people turned it into a meme. Honestly, it still isn't funny to me. Guess you had to be there.

I don't believe that's an accurate statement. Ctrl Alt Del had, and apparently still has, some pretty militant critics. It always has. Everything I've been able to find is threads of unrepentant cruelty directed at Tim Buckley with very little context, generally leaning on the loss comic. The obsession is a little weird, to be honest.
