Thank you for the kind words, Brian! It's funny that this incident - as well as many others like it - has become so politicized. I'm not even really right wing (I'd describe myself as an old-school liberal), but I am an artist and care deeply about the arts, so when I see someone's creative career ruined simply because they shared political views - even views I may disagree with - I worry deeply about the future of creators and their freedom to express themselves.

Anyway, thanks again for your comments!
