1. Karma indeed....I used to find Mr. Washington quite attractive until this incident; now I can barely look at him without contempt and pity. I'm just glad that ABC and Shonda Rimes have come to their senses and made a correct move in not renewing his contract. It sends a powerful message for such a high profile show, and it's gratifying that it turned out this way.
Happy Pride, y'all...

2. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU JOE. I LIKED THE SHOW AND I EVEN LIKED I.W. AND HIS CHARACTER BUT AFTER HE USED THE F. WORD....I COULD HARDLY GET MYSELF TO WATCH THE SHOW. HIS CHARACTER JUST WAS NOT BELIEVABLE ANYMORE.

GLAD T.R. IS STAYING AROUND.

3. I agree with eveyone else. I have been a fan of Greys since the very first show. I was so dissapointed to hear about I.W. I could barrely stand to watch him either, because his character was now so unbelievable.

4. I do not agree with the decision to fire I.W.

5. I, too, was a fan of Isaiah Washington's. I have followed his career for decades now. It is so terribly disappointing to see him behave this way. I appreciated his character on the show. He was one of the reasons I watched it. I will miss him in his role as Sandra Oh's fiance. I liked them together as a couple. I hope they will find someone else who is as complimentary to her character as he was.

7. I would appreciate all of you not yelling at me for this remark.

Names are names. You know... sticks and stones.

Names are the responsiblity of the one that utters the words.

Faggot does not distress me. (I am not gay).

When I heard Washington did the name calling I immediately thought he was an idiot. I think being an idiot is so much worse than being gay.

I have never met a gay person I did not respect and I
and I think calling gay people names is sort of third grade stuff. Stupid.

I watched Greys a few times but was put off the story... too much soap opera for me.
I am sorry Washington is such an ass. He probably ruined his career.

8. I don't know what is sadder, him being fired after begging and pleading with you guys or the fact that some of you have the nerve to say you found him "attractive," which is more annoying than him begging you to keep that gig.

You got your wish, he is gone and won't ever be allowed to work in Hollywood again, and its true karma is not a good thing for the all mighty gay men who seem to feel they can insult at will, and then aren't men enough to take it.

And, hopefully the black viewers will abandon the show, since ABC and Rhimes won't put another stong black male charachter on the show, not thier style since he was one of a handfull.

And, as far as the NAACP and the award, its thier choice, kind of like how GLAAD didn't give "Noah's Arc" one, its the world we live in fairness is hurled about, but, seldom done.

9. I'm glad he got fired. I'm black...and we all know if someone had called him the n-word, they would have been fired on the spot! He should have been fired sooner!

10. I think it is insane that he was not asked to come back because of something he said. I did not realize that we lived in a communist country where we were not allowed freedom of speech. If a person is proud of being gay they should not be bothered by what other people think. I think if someone is bothered by it they are insecure in theirself. If a person has to be afraid that everything they say will get them fired, what kind of country are we living in. He apologize, he shouldnt have been fired.

11. I'm disappointed that he'll be leaving the show... I hope they bring in good replacements for him and Addison.

Also, as always, people overreacting to an un-PC word. I don't see his seeking counseling and signing up to do a PSA as important. I see what he said as a mistake, but I'm not keen on people getting all uppity over misused vocabulary in the public eye.

12. I thought he was superior in his role. If we "fired" or 'eliminated' everyone that offended someone, this world would not exist! I disagree with his firing and think he sufficiently tried to redeem himself. It's a shame we judged him so harshly when thousands of rapists, muggers, robbers & murderers are not justifably judged or put behind bars to serve their correct term.

13. I am a fan of Mr. washington and I think it is unfortunate that he went on to do those psa for GLAAD.
they used him like a little bitch.

14. I am so terribly disappointed in Shonda Rhimes. I thought the sister had a back bone. For years African Americans have endured being called the n word and other things not fit to print. But we were told to get over it and were taught that those words did not define us. Although I am a fan of Greys I am so put off by T.R. that I am not sure I want to watch it. I think he should get a backbone and deal with his choices. Everyone is not going to like him and he can't get everyone fired for calling him a faggot. He is not the first and wont be the last. His friends wont always be there to protect him so I say if we dont demand restitution and firings for everyone that insults us why are we demanding it in this case. And Shonda where is the loyalty to your own or have you forgotten who and what you are. Believe me, America has not. Hopefully the gay community can soley support you because you have shown you have no loyalty to African Americans. So very sad sister.

15. I think it's sorry as hell when we exsress our selfs when we work and see people doing that queer stuff in front of our eyes and we cant say anything about it without geting fired but let the queers say something about us and there the almighty hero. well if it takes being a faggot to get to the top hell i'll stay here on the bottom.sorry about you getting fired washington

16. DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD! It's all right. She's gone. You may all come out and thank ABC for dropping a house on the WICKED WITCH OF HOMOPHOBIA-ISAIAH WASHINGTON.

Posted at 7:20PM on Jun 8th 2007 by David Stavins

17. YEAH!! Justice! I used to watch GREY'S. And like Washington's work. But after I saw his homophobia-I stopped watching GREY'S. Now I can watch again! YEAH!

Posted at 7:22PM on Jun 8th 2007 by David Stavins

18. I really am a big fan of the show and hate that he had to be fired. I never stop watching the show and will contuine to watch the show. I hope it will still be good spike the firing of a very good actor. He is human and he is in-title to make a mistake.

Posted at 7:22PM on Jun 8th 2007 by Nancy

19. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO WATCH GREYS ANATOMY BECAUSE OF THEIR UNFAIR TREATMENT OF ISAIAH, AND I WILL BE LEAVING THIS SITE ALSO AND NEVER TO RETURN!!!!

20. I am SO disappointed that IW will not be returning due to some little wimpish gay guy. I don't care what he said; IW is a wonderful actor and insofar as I'm concerned, he and Sandra Oh were the best part of the entire show. I doubt that I will be watching Grey again; I'm really so tired of the McDreamy/McSteamy hogwash and the Meredith/McDreamy seesaw. You will not be able to find a suitable replacement for IW!
