If I am in the wrong, one of my brothers or sisters in Christ will admonish me.

Okay, here is your official admonishment from a brother...with kindness and love.

Philippians 4:5 "Let your gentleness be evident to all"

Colossians 3:12: "Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."

Public figures do set themselves up for public criticism, but Christians, in my opinion, are constrained by love to keep their criticism impersonal. An appropriate use of such criticism would be when someone sets themselves up as a moral role model and then behaves immorally publicly. We need to point out the truth, but only for the purpose of steering people away from a bad example.

God bless you.

And she has. My comment wasn’t even about this accident. I actually feel sympathy for her about that.

My comment was related to why I don’t like her in general.

That said, I will take your comment under advisement.
