Whew, that felt good to get out; feeling a little frustrated lately about all this tabloid stuff and not just how it is affecting Clay. Actually, I think Clay is handling this a lot better than the fans. I don't imagine he is sitting around worrying and obsessing about this; I bet he didn't even listen to the HS interview or look at the tabloids. He is probably going on with his life; gearing up for the CD release and letting his lawyers handle all this business.

The fans however, need to let this go and get on with their lives. It is not healthy to be spending so much time obsessing over this, rehashing and rehashing every detail; going to these websites and then coming back to post how upset you are.

Stay away from these websites, quit looking at the tabloids and just get on with your life! And while, I applaud the mods at the various boards for setting up these special threads, I think at this point they have served their purpose and right now they are just prolonging this situation and providing a forum for fans to group wallow in this gossip and filfth.

We are now into week four of all this and honestly if the fans had just walked away and ignored the whole situation, I think it would have been over two weeks ago.

Clay is a very strong man, not some little boy that we need to moddle coddle and hold his hand; and I have to say it irritates me to no end when fans treat him like that.

I think a lot of the fans are projecting their own feelings onto Clay and because they are depressed or upset or feel violated, he must too.

It is time to put our emotions aside and look at this realistically and realize that this part of being a celebrity and this probably won't be the first or last time that Clay will have to deal with crap like this and maybe the fans need to get a thicker skin and find other ways of dealing with this besides crying, wringing their hands and making themselves sick. These creeps are not worth it and by allowing them to have that kind of power over you; you are just giving them what they wanted in the first place.

Feeling much better now.
