Case in point: I shoot my mouth off via the computer keyboard without even reading the link to Phil's comments that you posted. Now I feel even FOCKIN' STOOPIDER, but I'm also proud of ol' Phil for setting the record straight in no uncertain terms, and for not sitting on his hands in response to precisely the sort of sniveling bullshit that YOURS TRULY was bitching about earlier. Reading that was enormously satisfying. Thanks.
And I'm really sorry if you felt the barrage was aimed directly at you, because it wasn't.

Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to go off an a ranting tangent.
"in response to those kind Phil fans that were bashing Ryan on the message boards"
"Kind" Phil fans? This seems to me like such a gutless PC thing to say. Like, "we wouldn't dare admit that the mean, ugly, insulting shit that gets posted by a bunch of spoiled, spoon-fed, snot-nosed, whining, pissing, moaning crybabies is unacceptable in any other segment of society." Of course it would be a mistake to issue a blanket reply of "Fuck you, too!" And Phil's response was articulate and appropriate. But what the hell does anyone expect to accomplish by labeling a squadron of haters as "kind"? Mamby-pamby ass-kissing toward this part of the audience does nothing but to enable them to continue to gripe and bitch and complain, free speech and all notwithstanding. People like this wouldn't be satisfied if they got hanged with a gold rope, but I'm of the mind that a little bit of a good old-fashioned Denis Leary-style "Shut the fuck up" toward the haters is in order.

But to anybody out there dead set on pitching a fit for the sake of pitching a fit because you're a snot-nosed, whining crybaby----I'm watching you!

If I may comment on your 'ranting tangent'. I think everything you said about 'snot-nosed whining cry babies' etc was there to be read into that simple 'kind'. Far from showing PC restraint it was more, as I read it, a masterpiece of restrained, withering sarcasm. Sometimes a contemptuous dismissal is just as effective as a full-blooded tirade. Then again, maybe I read too much into the simplest things!

Maybe you're right, and I hope you are. Unfortunately, dipshits like me don't respond all that well to calculated irony.
