Nah Hitchens was pretty cool, if not a very aggressive mother fucker.

So, I wonder what’s the worst that could have happened if instead of posting that 2 days after he died, the OP had waited maybe a whole week? You know, enough time for the corpse to cool off a little.
Hitchens was not exactly known for his respect of the recently dead, especially if he felt they had been notably unworthy of respect.
