And the response was non confrontational - she just pointed out that the tweets were objectionable, which they were, and that she was upset by them, which I assume she was. No suggestion she was sobbing. Everyone was free to ignore her, but tellingly did not. Even you feel the need to add your pennyworth, so perhaps you need to stop feeling the need to express your opinion at us all; I could make some assertions about your maturity to that end, but will not (because I don't think it). Working with people that lack emotional intelligence is a chore.
