   Barry,
   That was a shouting match. I was hoping that you would have been granted (by standards of minimal courtesy towards invited guests) the opportunity to actually make your case, even if hastily. It was appallingly bad. Not you, not what you said…not what you had to – or intended to say, but the way in which it turned out.
   HOWEVER
   I guess the only thing I can think of in a positive light is that it was exposure, and for that I’m happy for ‘ya.
   BUT
   This is what constitutes television these days? What would a viewer from Mars think of the broadcast? Would that person come away with; “OK, that was the subject, and those were the observations of the participants” No way, and that’s sad.
   The anchor sounded – and looked – like he’d been enjoying recreational methamphetamine – or what I imagine someone would be like if they snuffed up some of that stuff, then anchored a TV broadcast. Babbling at 200 mph. Gagh.
   Congratulations on your patience, perseverance and intestinal fortitude.
