OK, but gloating is a sin.
Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles, lest the Lord see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from him.
--Proverbs 24:17-18 ESV
My question is, has Martha Stewart "reached out" yet?
Yes, it would be a sin. In my case, I can hardly gloat. We are on the losing side. I see my approval of her “being hoisted on her own petard” as being just desserts, actual justice, not gloating.
Similar to someone who is doing something stupid who has the suggestion made that they should do something differently. Not only being ignored, they ridicule the person making the suggestion, then it comes to pass that they are injured. I think it is perfectly possible to view with sympathy the injury, yet at the same time temper it with the “grim satisfaction” that their failure and injury may serve as an object lesson to others pursuing something equally stupid.
Such as supporting liberalism and nanny statism.
But that is just me.
