RE: cucumber
I don't think Mel's illness matters. Alcoholics and addicts--and I work in a social services agency--cannot excuse bad conduct because of their "illnesses." Somone fucks up, badly, and then gets a pass because they're "only human." It just won't do. You are repsonsible for your actions when they affect other people. You shouldn't get to skate because you went into rehab. The culture of victimization works to excuse reprehensible behavior. I'm sick of it; that's my excuse.
