I have sympathy and pity for him because I think he should have gotten help a long time ago but that doesn’t mean I have to excuse a growing list of bad behaviour, especially at the age of 72.

…even in the short time of knowing anything of him in the BB house…?..we’ve still seen with the age thing that he doesn't really consider any impact or upset of anything he says and so that ‘learning from’ just isn’t happening in that he upset and offended Ella so shortly after saying…yes, yes I understand etc when BB gave him the official warning post upsetting JoJo…
…with regards to empathy…?…I can understand that, that can wear a bit thin for some/many as well because empathy is also a two way thing and Mickey does speak words of ‘I never want to upset’ but then proceeds and continues to upset…and those people that he’s offending/upsetting…?…they also don’t live in a world of that moment in BB…they also have p life experiences and attachments etc that are equally deserving of empathy and understanding…and what can often happen in BB and similar reality…is that thoughts for others can get dismissed in focusing on one particular person …
