I'm talking about supporting someone who I have a more personal relationship with... such as a son, or parent or friend. I'm saying I would support my son if he put out a rap album by buying it even though I hate rap. Rob and I may not be close buddies, but he's done several nice things for me and I feel like supporting him as I do a friend. I see a distinction... even if others don't. And I gave Meat the benefit of the doubt when I bought WttN. and paid for a $3 download of Coudn't have Testified Better. After those all "doubt" had been erased. And his suing Jim by lying removed any goodwill.
