Even if you don't like their views and what they said, they have the right to speak it.

Oh spare me. Noone here is suggesting that they can't express their views, but they don't have the right to be spared from ridicule either.

If you ridicule someone for speaking about how they feel, then it is not free speech. That works for all parties. My concern is that making fun of those with other views is counter-productive.

Speaking up for your own views and opinions in an intelligent manner is worthwhile, ridiculing others is not.

Writing, calling, and attacking a family who has just lost a loved one will make us all look bad.

suej may be one of those DU sleeper cell accounts. 2 posts whining and then the account is dormant again. This thread did get exposure on DUh (they had over half a dozen threads devoted to this woman's obituary including one about the FR thread).
