23. The replies to this OP so far are, in my view, what is wrong with DU.

Or, at least, what is wrong with many people on DU.

Rielle Hunter acted VERY badly and hurt people in a way that may not be recoverable. That's done. All she can do is own her behavior and acknowledge the pain she's caused. She might be late in doing it, but she did it. Yet the replies here seem to imply that she's wringing her hands over what EVERYONE, including DUers, think of her, and that her act of contrition is somehow incomplete without their blessing.

I hate to burst bubbles, but it is possible for someone to be authentically contrite yet not give half a fuck what someone thinks who has no dog in the hunt.
