Believe it or not, I’ve spared you most of my e-mails, but here’s one, of a sentiment that keeps rolling in:

Dear Kathryn,
I didn’t at all mind that you kept up the commentary when there was hope (and I appreciate that you made the Corner pretty much the best place to go to follow the situation with Terri) but things being what they are now, I wish most of you would just shut up for a while. Really. Said with all due respect and etc. etc.

Shutting up would be the absolute wrong thing to do if the power you’ve got is use of a media that runs on doing anything but shutting up. As has been expressed below, these defining life-and-death issues are not killed with this woman.
