I also wasn't snarking and beating down someone who is already LOW and SAD. That would be referred to as BULLYING. Which takes me back to my original point - can we just be a little nicer? I know that there those who feel "above" certain houses, but some just don't feel the "connection" we tell them to look for. Let's quit kicking people when they're already down.

If you were actually "sorry", you wouldn't have said anything. It's like saying, "No offense, but..." Whatever. Substitute "99%" for "pretty much everyone".

I don't think it's bullying by pointing out that the woman in question does not have to be sad and calling out what is almost certainly her/her daughter's true feelings.
