No, you're not. You're comfortable in your position of dictating how a grieving father who suffered an unimaginable (to me) loss of his child, should behave. It would not be my way, but it is not for me, you, or any others to shame people for not grieving in the same way they/we would.

I feel for him, but no one should use another person in this way without their consent. Wrong is wrong. I understand that grief can drive people to make poor choices. My outrage here is pointed squarely at Acosta for platforming and legitimizing this.

Claiming your 'outrage' is for Acosta, negates the FACT that you've attacked the grieving father who wanted this from Acosta. Contact me when you lose a loved one, so I can evaluate and judge your grieving method.

I have, and I would never put my own words in their mouths. Clearly we're not going to find any common ground here. Have a good one.

To attack a grieving father who lost his beloved son, for finding a measure of comfort in his own way is wrong. Wrong is wrong. Just because his choice would not be yours (or mine) does not make it 'poor'.

It wasn't a person; it used to be, but is now gone from this plane of existence. (Even if it WAS a person (which is ridiculous), it couldn't give consent.
