Mel's got my compassion. He screwed up and figuratively got his bottom slapped. He knew it and apologized. Hopefully, he's being treated. What's that famous adage "To err is human to forgive is divine."
saying sorry is enough for anyone--bt not Mel--some "people" are just not man enough to grant the forgiveness!-and making a big deal of it is sicking!
Absolutely right! All of us have said or done things we're not proud of. Unfortunately for Mel, his fame made his tirade big news. I believe he's sincere and trying to get help. He and his family have been hurt enough....let's let them heal.
Now that's clear, I'll say that I'm in total agreement w/ your post. I went through a "rough patch" about two and a half years ago and have subsequently straightened my life out. Thanks mainly to Mrs. Gandalf. I probably would not have made it w/out her.
