Driving home last nite I was listening to the radio and people were making all kinds of assumptions and judgements about him and what he did to end his life.

It made me sick to listen to them.

What do they know about what was going on inside of him? Absolutely NOTHING. NADA. ZILCH. ZERO.

His daughter Zelda had to delete her twitter account because of horrible trolling responses to her father's death.

Some people have no shame.

The internet has become a double edged sword. It can be an enlightening tool yet it can be a dangerous and evil weapon.

Haven't we seen ugliness with a certain host on QVC and all sorts of rumors and assumptions. Keep saying it's why I hate face book and similar medias. You become a ""friend"" to a stranger on face book and certain people think they are entitled to say or do anything and they really don't know you.

That is truly disgusting.
It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

I went to a link thru Drudge just to see what people were saying...it was despicable.

People can be hateful when they are anonymous!

I can understand why her daughter deleted her accounts...the radio talking heads (usual suspects) were pretty brutal - especially the one who had substance abuse issues of his own. After he spoke - his fans just took it from there.

Many years ago I won a trip thru work to go to Comic Relief at Universal in CA. Robin Williams was one of the founders of the group. It started in 1986 and still is holding fundraisers....that's almost 30 years of charity work from just that one project...and RW helped many people in many ways.

A certain radio personality had some horrendous things to say about why RW would commit suicide. I read a few comments, too. ETA: I see you mentioned the radio host.
