I have no sympathy for him , and I don't think he is reallly sorry , If it had been any one else their careers would have been destroy and it would been a huge midea scandel

I think it's time to stop stoning this man. He did say it was hypothetical and intended to get a reaction. Well, it achieved it's purpose. people did react! He said his words were meant to "wake people up"....maybe it was a wake-up call for him, instead. Perhaps, because of the unexpected reaction, he will think more deeply on matters before he writes again. He has apologized and we can always hope that the scolding he has been through will serve to render a change of heart and attitude.

We have a responsibility to help one another see their mistakes and reach out to them when their foot slips on the path. This earthly realm is meant to shape us. Much of it is about learning from our mistakes in order to become more compassionate to each other. Much of life is also about forgiving and knowing that incidents such as this can serve to bring about deeper awareness in the trespasser.

There is not one of us who has not had the experience of "speaking off the top of one's head" without thoroughly thinking things through. Maybe we just didn't put it in print. Thoughtlessness is a human trait. I don't think Adler intended to influence serious harm to anyone. I think he has just been so media trained to write with "sensation" to get attention, that this became his purpose.

As to his sincerity, time will tell. If he really has a change of attitude, it will be reflected in his future writings.
