I assume it is too much to hope that next time someone will think twice before taking the piss out of a person whose circumstances they know nothing about.

Naively, I forget that many treat it like an opportunity for some kind of freak show. Thanks for the reminder. I think.


The classy thing for Giz to do is donate money to a charity of the cancer survivor's choice. Without that, a public apology is just a way to generate more blog traffic.

I don't think I would have the restraint the nephew possesses. His email explaining his aunt's conditions had no hint of vengeance.
