We afford sympathy to people who have accomplished things in life, even when they make mistakes. The “good kid” who messes up gets more understanding than the kid who blows it all the time. The great man who does horrible things despite great accomplishments is viewed as complex, not irredeemable. Heche had some nice performances and is a fairly accomplished actress, and gets more sympathy than someone who hasn’t done as much. Human nature. |

I must also give a shout out to the moderators who have occasionally given me some “corrective feedback” over the years (both Glenwillow and Kerbie come to mind, though others are certainly deserving acknowledgment). While I have usually aimed to be kind and measured, there were times when heated conversations were more common on AGF, leading to some topics being banned. But before those topics were banned, I would sometimes choose not to shy away from a fight, and would say things that were quite harsh and not at all measured (some might say that some of my posts were diatribes). So I am happy that the moderators have helped me to be more consistent in living up to my values, and will add that they have also done a fine job of adapting to our changing world, and ferreting out the vast majority of “not nice” posts before they gather momentum. |

The Moderator hat is on:
I think we all agree, this was a tragedy all around and that it should be remembered that innocent people were almost killed by Ms. Heche’s negligence. There were no winners here. I don’t think there is much more to add, so let’s leave it at that, shall we? Rick
