How is that his fault?

[GlitterzGurl]

How is that his fault?
It wasn't a reason for why I listed him as worst..

just a personal statement/opinion, get over it :rolleyes:

[Citizen Kane]

That's fine, but the way it was written made it seem like that was your reason for disliking him, and I suspect I'm not the only one who made the mistake.
