As to the contents of Roger Ebert's response to all of his followers: to me, it contained things that I have already heard (once again):
"...The reasons for your mistreatment were not in yourself, but in the minds of those cruel ones hoping to hurt you..."
"...The cruelty is clear cut. But the pleas for remorse must inspire pity and contempt..."
"...Sometimes it is good to bear witness to your life. Maybe this was one of those times..."
Much like my previous post about Ebert, I was very disappointed by it. I do not say this out of contempt for him. The articles and blogs that I find interesting (and worthy) are those that offer a new perspective on the subjects of humanity ( those by Klein, Rifkin, Pasricha, etc.). Overall, I feel as though this subject that Ebert brings up is one that has already been understood, or breached by everyone; it is a bit commonplace...
