I had to come out of lurkerdom to quote this. I wasn't an angel-winger, but I did have a distorted perception of Clay at the beginning (I blame AI for that ), so WDC and Boobgate were a little bit of a shock for me. I agree that Clay is multifaceted and that was what I was finally able to grasp and made my fandom much more enjoyable.
As long as I'm posting, just want to thank all of you for the enjoyable conversations on this board. I love the tone here, and the acceptance of everyone's views. It's very refreshing.
And finally, I have to admit that all that talk about the honeycrisp apples finally forced me to go out and buy one.
