I get being supportive, encouraging, wishing the person well, even respecting him for honestly trying. But admiration, for me that is saved for actually following through. Trying is easy. Succeeding is the hard part.

I wouldn't care all that much, would I not believe to grasp why suggesting people should actually admire Hunter causes some backlash. And for Yankee's thumbsup, of course :)



Yeah that wasn't exactly what Hunter was doing though, was it. He admitted it because they caught him, not because he felt so remorseful and found it to be a moral obligation. My respect for folks taking plea deals to avoid larger sentences is limited.

Well maybe admire was a poor choice of words for one reason or another.  But as to admitting only when caught sometimes one has to hit rock bottom before you can start back up.  

I can understand others not giving him any quarter for their own reasons.  I'm just explaining mine.
