Whether he was laughing at her or not, I don't know.

I would like to believe that he did not read her post where she just described the death of her child before responding with the smiley.

But if that is the case, he should simply have apologized.

That's keeping it classy. hifiguy Jun 2015 #33
Do you think it classy to falsely accuse someone of laughing at a dead child? BainsBane Jun 2015 #37
I have a very good idea of what you consider to be true and false hifiguy Jun 2015 #40

Falsely accuse? polly7 Jun 2015 #50
Polly, I'm very sorry for your loss BainsBane Jun 2015 #52
There is absolutely zero excuse for the obvious mocking reply directly to you marym625 Jun 2015 #119
I think the statue post is a misrepresentation. However, steven did post a laughing smiley Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #88
Agreed. As someone who has also lost a child, the pain can come back just as strong Coventina Jun 2015 #97

I took that to be about the PMs she sent around BainsBane Jun 2015 #99
I'd give him the BOTD that he only read the first line of her post before responding. Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #103
Simple human empathy would have been for Steve ( in 86-89 exchange) to at least acknowledge her loss Lars39 Jun 2015 #109

This might be the ugliest thread I've ever read at DU LittleBlue Jun 2015 #111
It is pretty bad. There's even selective cropping of screenshots in the OP. jeff47 Jun 2015 #124
It is disturbing MissDeeds Jun 2015 #128
Leave it alone. I read that thread. It was ugly. We lost a grandchild. madfloridian Jun 2015 #56
I agree. There is a point at which you would think decent people would stop trying to score points Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #83
The problem is she is blaming another member BainsBane Jun 2015 #89
I responded to that upthread. Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #91
And cropping the February date out of the first screenshot is the appropriate response jeff47 Jun 2015 #108
It's a misrepresentation. And it's not right. Warren DeMontague Jun 2015 #112

No, but he was unkind to her. Really pushed her when he should have backed off. madfloridian Jun 2015 #105
