Im not defending the things Andrew has said but I'll sure as hell defend his right to say whatever he likes.
Im really not liking the way you are pretty much demanding he change his ways. You dont like what he's said, fine. But are you demanding that he stop? Int it enough that rocketboom, Andre and Amanda get serious heat from sites like this? http://friendsofrocketboom.blogspot.com/ You are perfectly entitled to get upset, but should if affect what someone else says and does? I think the over the top way that some personal videobloggers respond to the slightest hint of criticism is likely to do just as much damage to the reputation of videoblogging as anything Andrew could ever say.
