No, actually. In this sense here, it is sneering when it is in fact _unwarranted_, and _gratuitously_ dismissive. However, there are situations where sneering is in fact 'warranted'... but in that case, such a response to others' misfortune is considered highly 'not cricket' (i.e. in bad taste). Sneering is never constructive. Why they invented the word, OK? Sheesh. You can take them off the Farm...
