All Of My Music, My Stage Show, My Personality, My Blog, My Twitter Feed, Anything That's Made Me Me, And A Huge Part Of Why People Like And Respect Me, Is That I Just Don't Spend Much Energy On That Other Stuff. It's Not Worth It. It's A Losing Battle Too. You're Just Screwed The Minute You Engage.

It's Fine For People To Say, "if You Can't Stand The Heat And If You Can't Stand The Criticism, Then Just Don't Use The Internet"; Unfortunately, That Is Not An Option.
