Jesus Christ, you call that a rant?! You might want to go back and read it
again... There was no ranting involved.

I'm not sure where you're getting this "threw a fit" nonsense. In every
communication from Tony, direct or public, I've found him to be nothing but
reasonable, if a little head-strong. It's this childish, rather pointedly
poisonous rhetoric like you've got there that really chaps my hide, regardless
of how I feel about the situation. Throwing in this "Tony threw a fit" stuff
and the "rant" news post at http://www.punkbuster.com/news.html is completely
off-base, unnecessary, and I'd venture to say out-right false. If you're going
to discuss an issue rationally, at least be fair about it...
