Rodney, I think you are a bit misremembering.
People were saying magic would survive, and it will. I think he is a poor magician, but hey they exist. He is much lower profile now than he was, he was flavor of the month, but now seems to be losing some steam. The constant nag about him is what is confusing to most of us. We get it, you don't like him and think he is bad for magic. How many times, in how many threads, in how many years do you have to keep making the point? He has proven to be his own worst enemy. He will self destruct. Life goes on.

That's fine, Danny, but you have no idea what I went through. It was very upsetting to me and my family. Forgive me if I express some relief in the fact that some of the guys who gave me a really hard time are starting to "come around".

Also , I rarely forget, nor do I "misremember" - my new favourite non-word. The people were not saying magic will survive. At least not to me. They were saying, how dare you, how could you, you don't know what you're speaking of, you'll be charged, you're a coward, you've got some nerve, I dare you to give me one example of a camera edit and I will refute it, etc, etc. It was very upsetting and I most certainly am not "misremembering. Anything"

On Penn's radio show, Criss seems like a cool guy. I was unaware of the slurs, which now drop him back down where he was in my mind.
That he donates to charities, make-a-wish, ect..Great, but this is what people of his type should be doing anyway.

Donations to charity are a well known tax dodge for the wealthy. It's good PR, nothing more in most cases.
I do find it funny how people get so upset over words. You can't say anything these days without someone taking offence. If you're offended by words then it's your problem. Being offended isn't a crime after all. |
