The distinction between a wealthy person with problems and a homeless person with problems is not small. To equate nasty emails as meriting as much sympathy as hypothermia and malnutrition is irrational. You should care.It is hard not to note that your own posts are full of inflammatory words and unilateral hostility, evoking the same qualities of "nerdrage" you condemn.The logic behind why celebrities aren't truly victims is inescapable: they are in a hell of their own choosing. You want fame-based success, you know what the price of admission is well beforehand. Meanwhile, there are millions of other folks who are genuine victims of circumstance, with real problems like disease and poverty and mass slaughter--stuff that paparazzi and  "nerdrage" don't hold a candle to. Guess there's not much satisfaction in sticking up for a bunch of stinking nobodies.Whether or not someone has a big pile of money to sleep on is not a minor, easily-disregarded factor. So, again, in that big line of folks entitled to pity, Martin can wait near the rear, though he does warrant a spot in front of the highly pity-undeserving Cruise (self-important nutjob who fancies himself a guru), Anna Nicole (gold-digger with a lethal case of gluttony), and Lucas (who went "kid-friendly" not because he's a Willy-Wonkaesque nice old chap who wants to make all the little children happy, but because he's a greedy, greedy sod who sold out his opus to pimp Happy Meals and Legos). But in front of Martin, there are millions of folks really hurting.</blockquote>
