Well, first<br>of all nobody was arrested, but I was asked to leave the Convention.
It<br>was just regular security that escorted me out, not the cops. <br><br>>From the beginning, I guess Mark and I both kind of got out of hand. We<br>were just talking about various things, Groo stuff and the election and<br>Sally Forth and lord knows what else. Someone who's a big fan of his<br>blog brought up the clip from the Dick Van Dyck show that Mark posted<br>recently, and all I said was that I thought the show was over-rated.<br>Mark thinks it's genius, but really I never found it to be funny at<br>all, especially the stupid Walnuts episode that he was going on about<br>ad nauseum!<br><br>Anyway, it got a bit heated, we were both being very sarcastic and I<br>said some things that I probably should regret, about Van Dyck and<br>about his sense of humor in general. I'm sure Mark regrets what HE<br>said, at least he SHOULD, anyway, next thing I knew Mark was taking a<br>swing at me and we both sort of ended up rolling around on the
ground.<br>I did sort of lose a tooth, but it was loose already. Somehow I came<br>off as the bad guy since Irwin Hasen said I started it, which isn't<br>true at all. <br><br>Anyway, don't believe everything you hear. I'm sure Mark will want to<br>tell his side, but really, it's a free country, my opinion is just as<br>good as his. <br><br>Anyway, even though they kicked me out yesterday I paid for today and<br>will damned well be going. I'm sure Mark will take this opportunity to<br>apologize properly, we'll go from there. Maybe I'll bring him a walnut!<br><br>Sorry for all of the drama! Ignore the media reports.
