As much as I would love to ignore your little comment, I find that I must respond. I in no way support any Straight staff. My comments about Steve Brooks were specifically in relation to him, not staff in general. I do not hate all Straight staff, just as I do not hate different races, groups, etc. I take each person individually into consideration for what they say or do to me or have said or done in the past. One decent staff member does not make them good as a whole.
And by the way, had you bothered to read the entire comment from my original post, you would have noticed that I DID say that I had seen Mr. Brooks be a complete and total jerk to people. He was cocky and arrogant and an asshole to many on the guys side, as well as exhibited an obvious disgust and loathing for some of the girls as well.
But he was cool to me, and I think that jail is enough punishment for his deeds. After all, most of us who were put in Straight did drugs, broke the law and generally fucked up. That could be any one of us in there had things been slightly different in our lives. His disease just still has him by the balls. I thank God that's not me.
