Tweeting Mom Controversy: Scott Hinkley

Could we please be nicer to a grieving mother? I see the complete lack of sensitivity for Ms. Ross's circumstances as stemming from the animosity about being left behind as so many new social activities are moving to the internet. From what I understand, Ms. Ross had been sustaining her blog for some time, and had built a relationship with those who read her postings. I email with my friends and family often, and many times we exchange more that just pleasant conversation, so I consider these interactions to be a significant portion of our overall relationships. It seems clear to me that in Ms. Ross's time of need, she reached out to those whom she trusted to be kind to her, and it looks like she was right, because if she had come to any of the hateful people who are criticizing her acting, she might well have been driven to do something terrible.

Please can we be nicer to each other? Wait that one extra second before we decide completely and certainly that we disagree with, and therefore have no reason to support others in their time's of need or pain. Shame on all of you with healthy children who judged her so harshly.
