What would be a better protocol [View all]

When a person has obviously had a traumatic experience in their life and say something you and many people would disagree with; would it be better to

A/ Realize that the person has been through a trauma and be compassionate towards them. In hope that the person will be able to move forward in coping with the trauma.

B/ Repeat what the person said to everyone you know and encourage them to throw stones at the person along with you.
