Woo boy, that’s a lot of insults and personal attacks in response to some mild criticism.

My commentary wasn't on her being lean. It was on her being obviously incapable of finishing a marathon.

My implications was that your commentary was based on her being a woman and having a social media presence (influencer) while ignoring that she had won marathons previously and obviously has trained a lot for them. You commented that she didn’t look healthy and like a twig, aka lean. While asserting she competed (and subsequently passed away) at the behest of “randoms online”. As I already pointed out, she’s won said marathons before. Your above quote also contradicts:

I don't care to diminish her accomplishments

Anyway, given your unhinged response it probably isn’t worth continuing to discuss with you.
