Not a b.s. compliment -- I admire, envy that and strive for that. And while I sincerely believe in the glass houses and 'there but for the grace of God' approach, in all honesty the judgmental streak in me is a mile wide in a case like this.
Don't mistake my human empathy as a lack of judgment. But I also judge the people standing outside their house screaming trying to, I guess, make themselves feel better. It doesn't really do anything else.
