Thanks, Kelly.
: Very well said...
: I can not speak from the same point of view as you since I do not know Jason or Ben A. personally, but I can say that if I did, I would feel the same way. No one wants to see thier friends get trashed/exploited - and in Mewes and Affleck's cases, on such a large (global) scale.
: I guess thats one of the most fucked up things about being well known- that your personal business all of a sudden becomes "well known"
: It sounds to me that Jason has very good, true friends, and I can bet that this is what is going to help get him through this.
: I'm sure everyone on this board hopes that things turn out for him and Ben both, as they are both very talented and respected by a ton of people. If anything, I like to think that the only good of coming off of substance abuse when you do it in the public's eye is that maybe someone somewhere else can draw inspiration from watching someone they admire face the same demons that they do
: Anyhow, well said.
: And being the hypocrite I am, I propose that no one respond to posts regarding the Mewes thing anymore (even if its written by newbies). Maybe if no one talks about it, it will burn out on its own.
: Kelly.
