Why should I care what Mels Gibson's punishment out to be?
He was drunk in public. He tried to run from police. He ran his mouth.
Let the justice system deal with him.
There'll be forgetfulness soon enough.
What I won't forget is all the gloating from the anti-Passion crowd here on FR, hoping to shame and embarrass those who found the work important and monumental. Mel disgraced himself, but an artist's work is almost always better than the artist. We see that over and over in the "creative classes" --the celebrity we hope to meet is a jerk, but his work will transcend him.
There were those here hoping to slap Christians moved by "The Passion" upside the head and jeer at them, and they got their chance to try.
But, you know...for all the squawking over the past few days about Naughty Mel and That Terrible Movie, it was all from the same few posters who kept starting new threads to rant and vent and "I told you so". Turns out their presence on FR is not so big as they thought it was
