The response to the Jennifer Kim/Violinist tweet is totally out of proportion and inappropriate

8. In her position, I might have said/tweeted the same thing.

Just to decompress after going through a terrifying experience. It wasn't mean, it wasn't mocking to other victims, it was directly related to what she went through and was a way of making a personal inventory of the situation for her.

Whenever I've been in an accident or serious situation, I'm not a weeper, I'm not a "Thank God" type of person - I'll tend to make a sardonic observation to lower the intensity of my personal terrors and pain - and then I go on with what needs to be done. I'm not mean. I believe in trying to make situations better, or at least not make them worse.
If however, if not having "the proper timing" when being sardonic or sarcastic is such a bad thing and such a personality weakness that outweighs everything else about me - my strengths, my talents, and any of the good I've done throughout my life, than I'm a evil person and should be hounded out of existence.
Like Ms. Kim. Just stone her already. Indulge in that 10 minute hate, because such righteous indignation over a trivial comment purifies the haters so much.
