Greg F, Steve's a good man. I know... I've met him in person, and I've played music with him. I don't agree with what he's saying about the treatment of those prisoners being the equivalent of a frat prank. If someone forced me, against my will, to do something like that, and took pictures of it, I could have them arrested for committing a sex crime.

And I think that his way of handling stress has sometimes created awkward situations here in the Mudcat. But his stress has been understandable under the circumstances, and I think he deserves to be cut some slack because of it.

He's not the kind of person you make him out to be, and you don't serve anything good by backing him into a corner the way you're doing.
