You are correct.

However, the intensity with which one manifests "glee" certainly can be construed as hate.

Hypocrisy is generally defined as a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess. We have seen that in many an evangelist/preacher. IMO, Woods does not seem to fall in this category for obvious reasons.

Yes, at some point satisfaction over justifiable
retribution can taint the victim. "Father, forgive
them, for they know not what they do."

However, suppose Hitler visited Dachau and somehow
he mas captured by the inmates and was literally torn
asunder. Human forgiveness can't reach the level of
Divine forgiveness.

Yes, the men of God, certainly and well deserved are
and should be held to a higher moral standard.
Personally, I think politicians should be held to the
highest standards with the toughest punishment for
transgressions while in office. {Clinton, it's just sex}

As for Tiger, it was ability to use his unparalled
skills to amass a billion dollars. This wealth
allowed him to degrade himself. Compare his behavior
to Warner the quarterback for Arizona. Read Warner's
biography.

Woods's has a massive character flaw. His wife should
take herself and the kids back to, is it Sweden?,
her country. Those children shouldn't have to grow
up with a father who has behaved so horribly scurrilously.

No, there is no schadenfreude involved with Tiger,
just utter contemp. But money trumps all. Golf
"needs" him.
