If someone were to break their leg climbing a mountain with absolutely no safety gear and they posted on here, I would first ask if they were okay because I realize that we should all be somewhat "forum buddies" and not directly hateful to eachother. Even if someone were to get on here and say "sorry I've been hospitalized because I drove drunk and hit a tree," my first reaction because I'm a caring, decent person would be "Are YOU okay" and not a derrogatory statement like "Well you shouldn't have done THAT dumb****, you're the STUPIDEST person on the forum!" This is why I lose faith in humanity, no care and no respect.

see, there's one major flaw in your comparison there. If someone had hurt themselves climbing without any gear, i would be sympathetic, i'd wish them well, and tell them i wish a speedy recovery for them. The reason being, they were participating in a risky act that although dangerous for themselves, could in no way harm another person. Drunk driving on the other hand, has a nasty habbit of hurting people who are entirely innocent. BIG difference.
