Yes, I did organize that drive. In fact, I just shipped out the over 400 messages of support! Again, I'd like to thank everyone that contributed to the cost of my shipping bill.... hehe 8^)

I have not "turned against Scott." He disrespected fans greatly that one night and I am very hurt that he hasn't said anything about it yet.

As for "giving him a chance": I fully expected him to at least mention something at the Philly show. But nothing was said. An apology could have easy been issued via CreedINKs mailing list, but nothing was said. Hence, 1 day ago, I began to post some messages about the lack of anything being said.

As for my "just take it" comment, I'm was talking about how some of us fans just spinelessly go along with *whatever* happens -- just because it's Scott Stapp. Do you guys agree it was extremely disrespectful of him to do this without an apology, irregardless of his personal troubles?

If Scott has not issued any kind of apology more than a week after the show, I kind of doubt he will.

But anyway, I expect much more from Creed (Stapp) than from any other band, and I hold them to a higher standard. And when that standard is ever discarded without the respect of an apology, I'm going to say something about it.
