1. One cannot judge anyone’s private feelings, whether the person being judged is a next-door neighbor or Tom Jones. Tom’s public actions have never given anyone any indication that he is selfish. This business about the US about which we and many fans have expressed frustration has nothing to do with any lack of loyalty or selfishness on Tom’s part. We’re sure long-time fans can catalog the good this man has done for charity, both publicly and privately. Ego? Rightfully so. But “selfish,” no.

2. As we mentioned above, we get many posts to be moderated that clearly attack Tom. They never see the light of day because they are so mean-spirited and angry. We only can assume that these are written by people who may call themselves fans, but who are angry, jealous, or both, because some of them are appalling. We own the site and reserve the right to insist on certain standards.
   
   Many of these vicious comments, we’ve found out, are sent using fake email addresses. We know the senders tend to work in IT and have the skills to send these from fake addresses. We even know where some of them originate. We keep these off the site because, as we’ve said many times before, there’s a difference between honest constructive criticism given by someone who cares and the tremendous anger some people apparently feel about Tom (and, clearly, other celebrities are in the same boat). It is kind of scary. And when we think of fan incidents like what happened in AC last year, we’re grateful that Tom emerges unscathed. We just never understood the kind of anger or possessiveness that these alleged “fans” feel.

Never mind, I’m just crabby because I wanted to buy that lovely poster and help out the women on the website. I know there are expenses.
