Ditto. 

Not intending to pile on or keep this going but that comment stuck 
with me today...To make the sweeping and public conclusion that 
Michael "hates life" based on his comments regarding the music 
industry and his struggles with it...well, I found to be a jaw 
droppingly unfair and a rather reckless conclusion.  Anyway, I'm not 
meaning to put Kerry on the spot again but I just had to voice it, 
for whatever it is or isn't worth.
