Shame on The Post for insensitive sensationalism in referring to
Robert Downey Jr. [Style, Nov. 27] as a "35 year old
actor/addict."

Were Mr. Downey suffering from epilepsy or asthma would The Post have
called him a 35-year old "actor/epileptic" or "actor/asthmatic"?

Addiction is a disease. Practice compassion.
