It is a human tendency to give overwhelming credence not to the most rational account of given events but to the first account. I have no idea what actually happened and am not inherently fascinated by celebrities, but it strikes me that, more and more, having public opinion on your side is actually a sign that you're doing something completely wrong.

If you're interested, here is a pretty scathing response to this letter.

Thanks. I skimmed that. It seems like another pointless piece that starts off determined to make a certain point. It also makes some troubling assumptions.

I don't really care about this entire business to be honest, no one knows what happened and if Allen wasn't famous no one would care. So.
