Well, you sure as hell did that. But on the other hand, I have no regrets. 
You see, I don't allow myself to be judged by poeple who are hypocrites. 
It was you, if you will recall, who indicated that we should not appoint 
ourselves as Tonya's guardians.

And yet you indicate that you "worry" about people like us who "idolize 
people who cheat to win".

Kindly understand that who we decide to support in the skating world is 
our business. If you don't like that, as I said before, too goddamn bad.

Oh yeah, btw, the reason that I am such a passionate Harding supporter is 
twofold: a) she's a damn good-looking woman and b) I came across 
information that is pretty damn unimpeachable that Harding did not 
conspire to injure Nancy Kerrigan. However, once the incident occured, she 
reverted to a sad habit trying to lie her way out of a problem that didn't 
exist in the first place.

The rest of the world can believe what it wants. Lemmings are like that, 
you know. So Dick, have fun jumping over the cliff. But I won't be there 
with you.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
