You're stirring the pot, Chris!
Also, starting something out by saying, "Being unfamiliar with Colin's work outside of seeing him a few times back at Kinda Funny...," doesn't necessarily show that you're really coming here with all that informed of an opinion. He's had YEARS of multiple controversies and many times he could have apologized or changed his ways, but hasn't. It's not just a couple of "Al Bundy" jokes. He's multiple times been outspoken about things many people in this community find abhorrent, and some might see Jones appearing on his politics dominated show a tacit endorsement or normalizing his views (especially because it seems they hardly, if at all, even talked politics in this?). EZA has largely been apolitical, which is fine in my opinion, and appearing on a show with a guy who is anything but that just is such a jarring shot to the system as how EZA has operated in their history. Also, saying "concerns from a few" is highly misleading as you have no way of backing that up. Jones even said it was "60-40" (didn't say which way) for EZA Patron's supporting or not supporting it, which is obviously not a just "few."
Whatever. It's real upsetting and weird for me that this even happened, but i'm done with this. FAR from throwing in the towel with EZA, but just frustrating to have admittedly uninformed people coming into this and asking why we are "offended" when we've been paying attention to all of his shit for years. It's your decision to feel if it's "valid" or not, but it needlessly threw this community into a shit-storm that easily could have been avoided, in my opinion.
