Not the fact that the joker happened to be “_Robin fucking Williams_”, or any similar star-struck credulous assumption that because the joker was somebody famous and funny then obviously whatever he did must have been okay. :rolleyes:

If so, what is your point? My point is that Robin wasnt a "groper’ he was a funny man who did funny things and Pam thought those things were OK. So exactly what\* is\* your point here?

Are you talking about the general issue? If so, that’s really Great Debates time. What we are talking about is Robin Fucking Williams and what he did. And what he did wasn’t wrong, wasnt sexual harassment, and wasnt “groping” as we consider it today.
