Robin Williams had a talent, a brilliance, a flame, far greater than most men, almost all men. The proof of that is in his performances, that will live on after we are all dead. My kids are sad, I am sad. He was a great, great man in his field.

His death should be mourned. There is no reason to mock the mourners. Yes, tens of veterans and countless other people commit suicide daily. If one is a great man with talents not seen in a generation, then many will mourn them. If not, then stop pretending that no one is special and all are the same. That simply isn't true. A few men are great, the rest are not.
