I certainly hope not, Justin. He is a brilliant actor who has never spewed as much hatred, even during the original argument, as you do each time you write about him. He made an error in judgment, as you say. We all do from time to time. He is human. He's trying to make amends and we should be supporting that. I don't think his career has crashed and burned, but I do think it has taken a heavy hit and I am very hopeful that his actions will speak louder than his words in the upcoming months and he will redeem himself. The PSA is one step in that direction. It has been an embarrassing and stressful time for him. He knows he screwed up, but what more can he do than apologize and try to move on. I wish you would be able to do that too.

I personally feel that the commercial that they made IW do was not fair. Whatever was said (in anger) that first time and the second time,( I feel was just defending himself with a poor choice of words,) was not that big a deal for him to humiliate himself in that commercial. It wasn't worth him discrediting his name and possibly destroying his career. It wasn't nice and he apologized. That should have been it. I was upset when I seen that commercial. When he checked in to get some help it should have been for anger management alone, not for the gay slur. It was not that big a deal and TR should stop playing the victim, AND his best friend! I also feel he should get some kind of raise like the rest of them. If they feel like that's a punishment for him not to get alot more, than fine, but he works hard, maybe even harder, as the rest of them. His story line keeps the fans tuned in. I was reading the forum and people are crazy about Dr Preston Burke. The show will lose half it's audience if he leaves. I love Burke and Yang!
