This wasn't aimed straight at Barlow.
I don't know if he's on Twitter or Facebook or anything, and I can't say I'm a fan, but if your wife gave birth to a dead baby and you put on a brave face and fulfilled the duties you'd agreed to do so's you didn't let people down, and all you got for it was a line of people calling you a money-grabbing bastard, even if the work you'd done was unpaid, how would you feel? Honestly?

Oh some people are monumentally insensitive I completely agree.
But that's the point isn't it. There will always be twats. More so if you're successful.
Twitter and BookFace give these celebrities more intimate access to the public, so quite honestly I'm amazed they're not surprised at the kind of vitriol they get.
Better not to be on it, surely? What do they need it for? Promotion worked just fine before it. I see no use other than a hunger for adoration and the occasional 'hi, look at me... I have something of no value to say.'
Not unlike my facebook, in fact.
