However your saying peope who have mental illnesses should be cared for or people who have mental illnesses should not be made fun of.

That's a fair point, but surely the difference is that Ronnie's behaviour is generally self-destructive. Also I wouldn't compare his behaviour to the sorts of persons you have mentioned. Calling a convicted paedophile a paedophile is a fair comment. I don't mean that he shouldn't be held accountable for his mistakes, but the word psycho should be reserved for those that genuinely deserve it. I don't believe that he should be wrapped in cotton wool, but equally he shouldn't be fair game for the people of the internet, just because he has talent and a suspect temperament. That's all I'm saying.
