Well said, Phoebe.

Okay, wait. So we're all not cool with Mel Gibson except Zen, right? Zen loves Mel Gibson, but the rest of us are like: start walking, brother.

To be fair, if you spend a couple Christmases in Aspen with a dude, it's really hard to justify trashing him to your friends online.

Oh no! My zinger was cleverly subverted and turned back on me! Why oh why did I not call rubber/glue so that all of this could have been prevented?

I'm not a fan of Mel Gibson. Don't think he's a good guy. Don't rush out to see his movies, but also don't think he should be banned from making or appearing in them.

Polanski on the other hand... convicted child rapists who flee the country to dodge sentencing should be banned from ever making movies that hit theaters, let alone Oscar nominated films post conviction.

Okay, so I'm just updating the scorecard here. People who regularly brunch with Mel Gibson: Zombie and Zen. People who are not cool with Mel Gibson: everyone else.

Well I'm writing things that you really shouldn't write in public, I have a question about Mel Gibson that has always bothered me these many years. Why is this man, who makes Bazillions of dollars and probably does not have a difficulty finding lady friends, so maniacally obsessed with b*******? Here the forum's handy mechanisms suppress the word so you will have to infer it. Is this a problem for him in his daily life? Does he have to work hard to negotiate this? If this can be a normal thing like breakfast and nap time for normal people, then what the hell is wrong in Mel Gibson's life? I ask you. I've just never been able to understand it.

What word is the board suppressing? Cuz I don't think is does that, AND I have no idea what you mean.

I'm as puzzled as you are. I tried to duplicate the effort and failed. It must be my phone autocorrect? That damn thing is the bane of my existence. I want it on to save time but the costs are significant. Anyway, why does Mel Gibson have such problems with this that he was freaking out about it in such an unpleasant manner?

Your point is that he's attracted to these terrible women who are deserving of the abuse he heaps on them. Stupid b-words. Why do they act like the type of person he's attracted to? Don't they know better?

Don't know if you are joking? My question is why Mel Gibson was freaking out about his oral sex activities, which seems like it should be a happy activity and not a hostile threat to one's spouse. Seemed indicative of truly weird issues on his part, not hers.
