: : I can relate to that. When I first became a father, nineteen years or so ago, it was rather time consuming.:::
: : Still, I would think Kevin could relate to my curiosity. After all, when Catholics went nuts over "Dogma," Kevin not only felt the need to explain in various media that he was not endeavoring to be sacriligeous, but he even joined a group of demonstrators to find out just what it was they hated about the film. :::::::::
: Here's the difference. Kevin had groups of people attacking him. You are bent out of shape by one guy's opinion.
Not bent out of shape especially. Takes a lot more than that to rattle me (although posting on three hours sleep wasn't the brightest idea, I admit. 1997 to now = five years. Jesus, that's embarrassing.) I simply have fans asking me what's up, and I don't really have an answer for him, so I thought I'd come here and ask. Thus far, aside from your raging insults, I don't really have any yet.
You also seem to be ignoring the fact that "one guy's opinion" is shaping others. Yours, for instance: You were so swayed by Kevin's opinion that you actually convinced yourself I'd bad mouthed him when I hadn't.
You seem to be trying to turn a simple fact-finding expedition into a series of diatribes or "what's your problem?" rants. I'm keeping my cool, son. Why aren't you? Is a simple series of questions that upsetting to you? Strain, ah say, strain that brain, son.
