I can only tell you that it is the kind of follow-up post that you left that
keeps me intersted in being open with people. I respect you A LOT for
that. Thanks.
Jason.
I don't want a debate either and as you can see this thread has
already popped up some ugly posts by others.
: You are absolutely right. I didn't mean to offend you and my
comments are based on hear-say. Of course I don't think less of you
now. I'm a really big fan of your work and wouldn't let something like
your personal beliefs get in the way of that. Once again, I gotta
apologize for the ignorant comments. I'm not bummed (just a little
small-minded sometimes). Thanks for the post, keep up the good
work.
