Robin Williams in South Florida hospital

29. Lighten up...
... it is a well known FACT that Robin abused cocaine. If you didn't know, consider yourself ignorant.

11. Robin doesn't do coke any more.
What is this need to put down good people?

Robin Williams does so much for so many. I met him at a wake for one of our San Francisco comics. He was quietly great that night and he got zero press for it because he was just being a human being.

Seriously. Pull yourself up.

13. He seems like a great guy....
I had the good fortune to meet a younger relative of his a few years back, who told me stories of growing up with him at birthday parties, etc. Sure, he has had problems, but most of us do in some way or other. He also loves people and makes them laugh. The world would be less without him.

14. Do you remember "Comic Relief"?
Robin, Whoopie, Billy Crystal.

Robin is about as community centered as you can get. Comedic geniuses with his sense of other people's real lives don't come around that often and if they do, their managers talk them out of it. lol

35. For the sake of argument, doing Coke in your 20's can give you heart problems in your 50's
Now that may have not been the point the poster was trying to make

But just throwing that out there

36. I worry when I hear someone used cocaine for a long time. strokes
and heart trouble follow. I wish him the best. I will never forget him running out on the state of the Metropolitan Opera and yelling:

HOOOOWWWWWDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEE!!! Opps. Wrong opry.

I almost died laughing.

25. It was posted upthread 3 hours ago
http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/39975.html

And of course you missed my intent. Maybe you don't know Robin as well as you thought, at least he would appreciate the humor, you...

27. Back off Butch...
Of course I "missed". Around here we put "these" around quotes. I posted the second time to be gracious after I read you were quoting without indicating that you were. I never said I knew Robin. Other than that Newbie screw off, you just got your last gesture from me.
