Trust me, I had considered that possibility. In fact, Shuster's mistreatment MADE me consider that painful possibility. I included that depressing tidbit ALONG with "rage and injustice" this weekend. I think this was not an "internet tantrum" (I was well insulted when StopBeck told us not to use boycotts and petitions for "tantrums"--what are we, a pack of screaming children wanting a teddy bear? FUCK NO) and as someone who participated in it, who looked at this through a critical media lens (what might Comcast have to do with it? why were others able to do this? etc), I guess I'm a little insulted by that characterization of this. (ETA: Consider. Phil Griffin's office voicemail was FULL by Friday afternoon. He must've received loads of email. People all over the political spectrum voiced their disapproval. Over 250,000 fans--nearing 300,000 really--signed this supposedly useless petition. I think somewhere in there, he might've realized he done goofed.)
Hell yeah we're emotionally invested in him, all of us--we post in a Livejournal community called OLBERFANNS. We refer to him by nicknames, we cherish his segments and tweets--you're in on it too, admit it and you'll feel better.

You bet your ass it did. :D When something's wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action.
