Being nosey I occasionally look at someone's profile.
Ninety percent of them contain little, or no information.
So all I have to go on, in deciding what someone is like, is from what they post.
Which in the case of the person concerned, may have been banal, but was never, ever nasty, or snide. Yet that's what they got back from many of us.
I'm sure there are lots of people on here I'll never meet in person. That doesn't mean I won't have an opinion about someone's character.
I loved Westender, and shared many happy interactions with her, but sadly never met her, and now of course I won't, because sadly she's passed away.
We do all form opinions about other people.
Sometimes we discover out inital opinion was right.
Other times they aren't.
