you to notice that it has made you highly unpopuler.

what does this mean/imply? that OtR have no
sensetivity? because linford asked a question too
difficult for you to appreciate? in my opinion, linford
tends to express that he feels a connectiion between
himself and his "fans." he does so in his recent
letter. perhpas he *is* being sensetive, but not in a
way you'd prefer.

hmmm. i'd say "save the children." and i suppose with a
selfish attitude like this, you'll very likely not ever
get where you want to be...

childern are expendable to your artistic whims?

you're suggesting that OtR think one thing and say
another? where i come from, we call this behavior
"lying."

well, if it never really belonged to them, then the
idea of siging a record contract is unethical, now
isn't it, because that means OtR is lying and
embezelling to claim money earnd on proerty that wasn't
theirs...
