I don’t think your criticisms were because the post was emotional, and I don’t think the criticism of the allusion to Caroline benefiting from this culture was a criticism of tone. They were criticisms of the content / claims / ideas / attitudes in the post, and I think it was important to make them.
I do think it’s fair to be concerned that these criticisms are getting more attention than the rest of what is said in the post. The issues Keerthana raises are serious and it would be wrong to ignore them entirely because of some objectionable aspects of the post, especially ones that don’t seem super central to the message. But just because an emotional post is being criticised, doesn’t mean it’s being criticised for its emotion, and doesn’t mean emotional posts are unwelcome here.
