And here is a post from MC Frontalot who is a good friend of the guys at PA and his perspective on the ordeal.<a href="https://plus.google.com/106362895997604280818/posts/94KfgrA75JH" target="_blank">https://plus.google.com/106362895997604280818/posts/94KfgrA75JH</a>hopefully those without Google+ accounts can view it without issue.I personally enjoy alot of what PA does, their humour approximates my own.  And they do alot of community good.  But like anything, people make mistakes, and things (verbiage, phrasing) can be misconstrued and taken out of context.  In this situation, a combination of events has blown things out of proportion.  I feel there is alot of screaming drowning out those making valid points on both sides.  At this point I think "Gabe"'s clarification is about all he can do without drawing more wrath.</blockquote>
