Very well written letter. While I feel it was unnecessary to apologize for your right to express your opinions, I’m glad it will finally put this issue to rest. Steven, I’m also glad to see that you took the role of the bigger man and were willing to put something like this out there. Cheers and well done.

Steven,,, nice letter… and although i’ve written that it’s your show and you say what you want, you did the right thing… first and foremost, it is a painful topic and tragic and your show maybe isnt the proper forum to share your feelings…

(a quick side note, your show has evolved greatly from the Howard days of two fans sitting around and wearing their emotions on their sleeves… you’ve work TREMENDOUSLY hard to turn this into a LEGIT source of news and fun and KENNY has been critical to this process… so the TENOR of the show has changed and you have made the right decision by apologizing)

i do find it very interesting that TonyNewMexico’s interpretation of a BOYCOTT includes having so much of a presence still… I’m sure he justifies it by saying “emm,,eckkkk, I must monitor the show and forums to ensure the boycott is working”… pretty sound logic TNM…

i say again, TNM, you should boycott and not deliberately expose yourself to things in life that DISRESPECT you and hurt you so much…

Brilliant decision, NOW just execute that decision better and enact your BOYCOTT…

I think you still have greater demons to address Steven, but having read that apology, and knowing that you are too proud to ever admit that you haven’t a clue what you’re talking about with regards to Hillsborough, I am personally inclined to let this drop now.

There comes a point where you have to forgive someone for being an idiot and I’m pretty sure you appreciate how stupid you’ve been, even if you still believe what you believe.

You’ve promised not to bring up the subject again, and as far as I’m concerned that’s that. If you keep this promise, then we don’t need to worry about your US audience being horribly misinformed and that was always the main concern.

Good luck in the future and I hope others agree with me and end their boycott.
