OK, so it's obviously a trigger for me when people make fun of others.

I don't, however, recall seeing such comments from you and wouldn't have included you in that group. I'm sorry if anything I posted caused you to feel that you were. I wasn't referring to fans who are upset or feel let down and comment about that. That's understandable and you're certainly entitled to your feelings.

My reference was to those who rarely miss an opportunity to take potshots at Richie for any reason whatsoever whether it's related to the tour or not. It can be the women he's associated with or the way his hair looks, grammatical errors, typos, the music he supports - just anything around which a snide comment can be built and a chuckle gained. And it's not a one-time just-couldn't-resist contribution to the hilarity. These are 'frequent flyers' that I remarked Lost on a Highway was wasting his time with.

Even if fans are understandably upset, does it justify turning the man into an object of ridicule? Not in my book... not in this chapter, nor the next.
