Thanks for reading.

I explicitly state in the article that I feel no legal responsibility rests with them. I state that in the first few paragraphs.

What I am trying to make clear is that treating a tragedy like a legal technicality is not a way to build community. People are disgusted by their reaction.

For the record, I don't use any of the car services...this is not meant to promote Lyft or degrade Uber in any way, just to advise companies to invest in community. I would have hoped my numerous clear messages that I do not harbor anything against Uber would have made that clear.

I agree that my headline was designed to be provocative (though it is addressed in my very first sentence) and perhaps a bad choice on my part.

And latching onto a tragedy to complain about a company and community as a "community manager" yourself is in poor taste.
