This is response specifically addressed to long-distance "friends" of Anthony. It is alright it seems to make jokes about Anthony's loudness from the relatively safe distance of Texas -- yes, Lester, he is a bit loud, but for those who need to work with him and near him, it is not a joking matter. It is well known that Anthony was, at a very early age sent to mime school, so he might act out rather than speak. As usual, such foresight did not pay off. It seems Anthony wasn't very good with prepositions, and took to acting up as well speaking out. Now take Jake Selzer, he certainly isn't within spilling distance, so he can be gratuitously generous with his insults about Anthony's eating and drinking behaviour; however, again, for those of us who eat with Anthony, it's no laughing smatter. I have a mind to complain formally to Russell Hunt about the total lapse in etiquette displayed by our American friends. Anthony is not easily insulted.
