I agree that at the time of tragedy R’L’ the people it happened should not be given mussar.

What really bothers me is that if G-d forbid, something happens to say for example, Plony ben Plony, and people say something like;

“How could this have happened to such a wonderful person who was so good and kind”.

And Lets say for example, I happen to know this person, and in his case, I personally know he was far from being good, let alone a Tzaddik, about whom a new Tehillim, should be written.

In that case, I want to scream out, “I know this guy and he ruined my life with Loshon Hara, and cheated me in business by not paying me wages, he owed me!!!”.

That people would think of him, as so good, and then use him as an example to emulate, and learn from, is something that I think spreads evil and lengthens the Galus.
