Hey, I can understand you being upset about the "nasty little" comment ... but be careful about how you generalize.
I made sure I said there were exceptions, and my exceptions included everyone on this list. Personally, I've met Adam's kids and I believe that are fabulous. I've not met your kids, but I'm sure they are fabulous as well... The majority of parents on this list are very exceptional. And I love you Mikey, but you know as well as I do, that you have met kids that are annoying. If you haven't - then you need to get out more. Because in the city of NY, I REFUSE to believe you have never run into a kid you didn't want to take and teach a lesson or two to. If you say you haven't, I call BS. And you don't have to have kids to make these statements, because if you want to go there, I'm gonna start saying you cant have an opinion an ANYTHING unless you have FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE.
