I giggled a bit when I first read the blog comments but now I just feel a bit queasy about it. People are just having fun jumping on her for no reason other than they enjoy it. No compassion. No self restraint. No worth or point to any of the gloating comments or 1 star reviews. There was a post on the original blog which I quote below...

I don't see how coming onto a blog to gloat or laugh about someone having a public emotional meltdown is better behaviour than having an over-emotional meltdown.
Humans suck."
It isn't better. Arguably, it's worse. It's why people are posting as anonymous. Because then they don't need to show humility or a modicum of compassion.
For everyone revelling in this -- a quick story. I had something similar happen with a colleague who ranted and swore at me. Face to face. When I took him aside in private he broke down and admitted his father had just died the night before. Me pointing an error out to him had been the final straw.
Please don't forget that behind an easy laugh is a real person. And you've no idea who she is or what might have prompted her behaviour.
It doesn't excuse her. But it doesn't excuse you either.

Leave her alone now. She's probably depressed enough.
