Since when is dirty laundry exclusively about bad behavior?
(see http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dirty%20laundry http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dirty%20laundry : private information that causes shame and embarrassment when it is made public) The OP thinks doing something that should be private in public is bad behavior, which is ridiculous.

- jasonlotito 13y ago> Since when is dirty laundry exclusively about bad behavior? Never said it was. What I said was someone using your dirty laundry "for public entertainment and out of rudeness" is bad behavior. I mean, it's right there in your definition: "and out of rudeness." I thought it was pretty obvious. > @Diane "Maybe they haven't had a family member with mental illness." Yep. That was a perspective I hadn't though about before. The sentence after that "This Elan guy clearly hasn't" commits the same crime he's accusing Elan of, but the point is sound. That being said, the woman didn't have a mental illness, and the assault at the end was inexcusable.
