Before you judge people's choices and actions, say "WTF", or claim that someone's choices are based on emotional angst, try getting all the facts.

That is all,

*sigh*
Yeah, that's what I thought would happen.

I think too often that people read what they want to read into the written word.

They see what they want to see, even if it isn't there. I don't know what situation you are referring to, but I know my own recent experience was because I thought and assumed and then reacted.

If I had thought, I would have thought, assumed, and then kept my big trap shut. But too often, the emotional one is the more satisfying.

I know that doesn't help and my rational brain agrees with you. I just need to let my rational brain drive more often. :-)

And then when you turn out to have been justified in your WTF reaction, you can have even more fun with it - you'll know all the facts to laugh at!

*ahem* was that my outside voice?

All the facts are unknowable, there's usually something that we just can't get access to. That's academic, though, as a good deal of info is often available. However, trying to get all the facts before making a decision is counter to human nature and, proabably, evolution. Trying to get all the facts about whether something wants to eat you is usually not a good idea. Running at the first idication that it might want to eat you is usually better. On a higher level, time constraints can make getting more data impossible. As a journalist, you know that deadlines mean you sometimes need to act before having everything you would like. No, I'd say what you've got is more likely a case of people sticking their noses in where they don't belong and spreading gossip and conjecture. That's not nearly as excusable as being ignorant. It's malicious.
