Yes I did. You can't log on at all? Give me a mail fella - I actually have something I'd been meaning to ask you. That sounds ruder than I'd intended. Anyway - yes, mail me at badcoe@gmail.com. Meanwhile, it would seem Future don't give a toss. Cundy is at it again - http://www.gamesradar.com/us/xbox360/game/features/article.jsp?releaseId=20060321132945404017&articleId=20070312135726482036&sectionId=1003&pageId=2007031214531328028 Ahh.

Which is good news, I suppose. I've not heard a whisper about it since it all kicked off, though, so I guess Future decided just to put their fingers in the ears and wait for the offended people to go away. I'd be disappointed, if I had expected any better from them. By the way - I think you sent me a message on MySpace ages ago which I can't read, because for some reason I can't actually log into my account there any more... Doh :/ Most of the people I know who got angry about the article are straight, so I guess that kind of childish, intolerant shit isn’t acceptable to people in general, not just to the people it’s aimed at.

It was linked from another site, and I pretty much just scrolled down the first time, more concerned with the fact that GamesRadar actually considered it newsworthy rather than any of the actual content. It's only when I saw the edited highlights on GI.biz that I nipped back and read the story in full and saw that not only was it a crappy piece of news, it was also a piece of writing stuck in the 19-fucking-70s. Like yourself, I don't like to think that I make a song and dance about the gender of people I choose to sleep with - and I'd like to think I'd have been equally disturbed by this story if I was heterosexual - but it did get to me, I must admit. Anyone know where this Matt Cundy lives? (Joke.) (No really. That was a joke.) I saw that, and actually thought I was being a bit uptight about it at first.
