I just helped a deceased friend's family clear out his house and sell it, sell his book and music collections, sell his car, etc., etc. If his one-man small business had a retail store which he'd owned, we'd have sold that off, too.

A good way to deal with any new-feeling emotional|social situation which happens on-line is to think about analogous situations which were real-world things long before there was any "on-line".

What does “good” mean here? This is just one general way to arrive at an answer that doesn’t require much thinking. Who knows if it’s the best even if it is the one that requires the least thought. The past is not always a reliable moral compass model for judgement calls.
