I agree that he should pay some consequences, but hopefully they should be in line with the severity of his actions and no more. From what I heard of his actions, they weren't severe enough to warrant never hearing from him again. (I agree, they were not as egregious compared to others. But {coming from a childhood of sexual abuse} his comments would have sent me into a tizzy, made me beat myself up, and caused me great angst) If they were, then I could understand a permanent departure. I'm satisfied with his apologies as long as he learns from the experience and stops his dirty old man ways. (I think Visa had to right to act and react as they wanted). As a person with bipolar disorder, I've had to learn from inappropriate things I've done. I finally accepted treatment and don't do those things anymore. (Wow! I so admire this about you!))

There are people I've met in the past who will never be friendly with me despite my accepting treatment and not behaving poorly again. (Sad for them; their loss). I will also struggle in ways in the future as a result of stigma of mental illness and things I did wrong. Is that a good punishment for me? Perhaps you say yes. (I don't know if it is a good punishment. I don't think in terms of punishment--but some actions have L-O-N-G repercussions--and that's paying the piper.) Perhaps you would never be friendly with me. (I would be--and I'd be interested in your mental illness, your quest, and your journey).

I never had a job where mass numbers of people knew me. It might be possible that I can start a career elsewhere with anonymity. People like Morgan Freeman? Should he just be forced to retire? (No, he should not be forced to retire. He may decide to do so--or to soldiers on; I hope he overcomes this).

I agree that the Me Too movement is a very good thing, as long as it doesn't start hurting people way significantly harsher than is warranted. I know this discussion makes me seem horrible to some, but I have felt something akin to what Morgan Freeman might be feeling. (No, you don't seem horrible; you have a right to your feelings). Let there be no more chances for me? Or any chances for others?
