Perhaps she scores zero points on community service/approval. No matter, she’s just there explaining what’s going on, as sincerely as she can describe.

Now if instead she were a criminal caught trying to steal a car, but was foiled because it was immanuel tran-middon, well then she would deserve a heap of internet shaming!

I try to confine my ridicule to people in trusted positions - often elected - who defy their oaths and the trust we put in them, and to those who break the law and harm people in the process.

(And sometimes I make fun of pompous celebrities, who think their fame alone somehow makes them ‘smart’ and entitled to lecture the rest of us.)

But I don’t see any sense in ridiculing a person who simply may have had a poor education, or who lacks a gift for language.

(The particular situation that you suggest hasn’t shown up on my ‘radar’ - but I did enjoy ‘Amber Lamps’ - because it was mostly about the equanimity of the lady sitting there and ignoring the chaos with superb equanimity :-)
