READ MY LIPS: Condemning Gibson is one thing. UNDERSTANDING why he acted is another thing entirely. You seem to think that speculating that someone is mentally ill in a mean-spirited thing. I don't think it is mean at all. I am trying to give him the BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. When my loved-one was in a manic phase he did many stupid, embarrassing things. When we found out he was suffering from bi-polar disorder it was a relief. I would rather my friends know he was ill than to think he was a self-absorbed, rude individual. GOT IT??????? I like Mel Gibson and would like to believe there is an explanation for his behavior. You think it is better to simply dismiss him as an anti-semetic drunk?

Why don't you calm down? No need to shriek. Since you asked what I think, I'll tell you: I think it's better to leave the particulars Mel Gibson's life to Mel Gibson. Don't try to pretend that you're doing him some kind of favor by posting your idle speculations about his mental state. You just need something to yap about. So--I leave you to it. Yap away. It's all idle prattle.
