Whether leader or pedestrian nobody, why should a man to be devoid of or out of touch with emotions as the message of this thread promotes. To me that is wrong and you are right. There is no need for mocking others period. Personally I applaud him for being who he is in this instance.
Frankly, I find some hope in humanity when I can see a person get inspired or emotional about SOMETHING. WE aren't a bunch of talking heads. It seems our society is devoid of people who care about anything any more except themselves or their little rice bowl.
I think it's okay for men to get emotional about the stuff that counts and I'm quite comforable with my manhood.
