What DTJ just said was pretty much what I meant to say. 

I certainly didn't mean to come off as saying that Axl does no wrong.  What I'm talking about is the little stuff, and this incident is a perfect example.  BBF answered a mail from Del and tacked on a message for Axl, something anyone of us might do rather than writing and sending a seperate message.  But this was blown out of proportion and turned into "Axl's such a dick that his own band members can't contact him directly."

It's that kind of thing - taking something out-of-context, or without knowing all the facts and negatively speculating on Axl's character that I think is unfair and undeserved.  BBF cleared up the facts while using his sense of humor to point out how absurd these conspiracy theories are.  I personally thought that was cool.

Awesome comment!  I love BBF's sense of humor.

Axl gets so much undeserved shit from the media and fans.  Hearing this kind of stuff all the time, any of these guys could easily be a dick in responding to it.  It's great how BBF uses his sense of humor to counter this kind of speculation.  It makes a point, and it's damn funny too.  Axl's lucky to have you in his corner, Ron, musically and personally.

Dammit, you guys guessed the 2 I knew.

Cool idea for a thread, LLL!

Nice find!  I especially liked the fine-print at the bottom.
