I'm sorry, the entire fucking internet doesn't exist to be a cushion to those who are grieving.

Yes, it's not the point of the Internet, but that doesn't give him free reign to say whatever whenever. He too is responsible for his actions, and part of that is being called out when it's appropriate. Which, given his blog post, he recognizes.

Don't get me wrong, if he'd waited until the facts were verified (as he later said he should have) or been a bit kinder (I wouldn't complain about "Friends don't let friends..."), I wouldn't care. But if the point is that the Internet doesn't exist for coddling, then...why shouldn't I call him out on insensitivity?

I realize I'm being overly kind to Dunn--what he did was horrific and unpardonable. But at the same time, the respect for the dead is only partially for their memory, it's also part for the people mourning him. I don't think it's unfair to call for a public figure to err on the side of kindness, especially immediately after someone's death.
